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?

I use it for learning and explaining concepts I cannot wrap my mind around ,I would rather give my code my very own flavour and get to the execution by myself tho ,also the specific cases you might need are prolly not going to be able to be replicated by the AI .
