> if the kind of work normally done by juniors who are training/building their skills is done by machines instead, where do the next generation of seniors come from?

AWS CEO had roughly the same thought. Senior devs may skyrocket in price if juniors cannot progress to senior skillsets. Those that stop hiring juniors will have a rude awakening when they need more capable software devs in a few years, and all senior roles are now skyrocketing in price. Hire some capable juniors today to train up.
