For new developers wanting to learn to code, AI is great today to help them. For experienced developers AI is also great because it can write tons of code for us that we already know how to evaluate and test, because of years of experience doing it in the "pre-AI" world.

However the future is uncertain, when we reach a point where most developers have used generated code most of their lives, and never developed the coding skills that are required to fully understand the code.

I guess we'll adapt to it. We always do. I mean for example, I can no longer do long division on paper like I did in elementary school, so I rely totally on computers for all calculating.
