I don't think so. I think reviewing (and learning) will be. I actually think that the motivation to become better will vanish. AI will produce applications as good as we have today, but will be incapable of delivering better because AI lacks the motivation.

In other words, the "cleverness" of AI will eventually be pinned. Therefore only a certain skill level will be required to debug the code. Debug and review. Which means innovation in the industry will slow to a crawl.

AI will never be able to get better either (once it plateaus) because nothing more clever will exist to train from.

Though it's a bit worse than that. AI is trained from lots of information and that means averages/medians. It can't discern good from bad. It doesn't understand what clever is. So it not only will plateau, but it will ultimately rest at a level that is below the best. It will be average and average right now is pretty bad.
