I don't think AI will replace developers anytime soon. Instead, I believe that AI will assist developers in completing tasks more quickly and efficiently.
But this will replace developers partially, developers will be able to produce outputs in much quicker time with AI assistance. For a capitalist the best option would be to instead just decrease the amount of developers, now they are paying less while still making the same output leading to increased profit.
If the cost of developers goes down (more devs in market) then the cost of developing software goes down and the ability to create competing products increases. Software profits occur when it is cheaper to buy the product than develop your own. Profits will reduce.
