Yes, people who actually know how stuff works will maybe be even more in demand ... since it will be hard to find them between all these "I can code but actually I just use AI so I have no idea what I am doing" types of people ?
All AI can do is anticipate what you were trying to do. If you're thoughts are too unstructured and vague to do the programming, you will likely not be able to tell if the AI even did what you wanted.
Where I do see room for AI is alleviating a lot of repetitive coding with advanced auto-complete functions and being able to quickly look through the code for possible mistakes.

yes, AI is like a buddy that knows some stuff very well but you don't fully trust him since he's drunk very often and then goes on rampages about stuff that is completely irrelevant to the discussion ...

Good analogy

another funny analogy I just had during a private discussion with @shurikencutter was that AI is not going to wipe your ass
but then i turned around and said, wait, maybe it will. but the point is, how do you know that it wiped your ass correctly if you don't even know how to wipe your ass? lol
