Question Will AI decrease demand and salaries?

Hello everyone.

I am new to web development and it goes well so far.

I'm bit scared of AI development. Let's say you needed 10 developers for a project before ChatGPT and now you need 8.

With the development of AI, we will need even less.

Why do people think AI won't decrease demand and salaries of web developers? It's logic for me, what am I missing?

When web 2 happened and tools came to automate a lot that made being web master and writing HTML a child play, what happened , complexity of web app increased and that has been always the case . I bet a new wave of complexity is right around the corner. :)
