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?

Hasn't decreased mine yet, and based on some of the garbage I see it put out right now, I think we've got a bit longer. Learn a sub discipline though, never hurts to have alternatives. If I stop doing dev I can do graphic design, video production, or Go be a sysadmin somewhere
