The management at my corporate job literally say in our townhalls that they expect AI to increase productivity and reduce costs. Makes logical sense to me, the glory days of high wages are over.
Reduced costs does not necessarily equal reduced wages, but I see what you're saying. As others have pointed out, making cameras more accessible made photography more competitive.
It may be in the end that software developers make less money even as more jobs become available.
