Industrial and other tech revolutions, of course, are taking some old fashion jobs but on the same place - creating a lot of new markets and jobs as well, much more. It, indeed, means, that people, as always, just will need to adapt to a new environment and trends. It's a law of nature.
Talking about the AI, first of all, AI won't take much jobs - it will only enhance them, help people with their problems, filter a lot of data, recommend data, recommend decisions and automate a lot of work.
Talking about the AI taking jobs from developers - it's a nonsense and will never happen. Engineers always will be on demand and this demand is already huge and growing. We also have seen how monoliths and old fashion simple architectures evolved into complicated infrastructures and clouds, creating many DevOps jobs. Obviously, this trend will continue growing.
In the future computer systems and infrastructures will be more complicated, will be much bigger, there would be much more data, not mentioning the increase of Earth's population which is expected to be around 10bln in 30 years (35% growth), smart homes, cities, etc.
Stop fearing of AI, it's not a magic box and not a terminator or a Skynet. It won't take anything, it only will change the past and create much more new jobs and opportunities.
Here is a very simple example: How much people you need to take care of a horse? One, may be two. And when horses have been replaced by cars, how many you need different professionals to take care of a car, including those, making supplies, factories assembling them, people teaching you how to drive?
P.S. in your bad example and discussion in your team - "easier for non tech people to make things" is possible only because of those tech people, which is their main job - making hard job, so user would not.
