Not everyone else is going to be out though, just the people who don't rise with the tide. Now is the time to understand where the tools are going, what humans are likely to still be better at (probably what and why, definitely not how), how that's going to impact what it means to be a developer, and how you can expand/broaden your skillset to continue to have a niche when your technical skills are devalued. Adapt or die.

I have no interest in adapting, I'd rather be redundant

but I don't think that's going to happen

and no amount of prophesying (what you're doing here) will change my mind

I think the more likely outcome is a repeat of the 2000s: ungodly amounts of outsourced code leading to paralysis and near collapse

except this time it'll be far more widespread, thanks to the US tech industry ramming their slop down everyone's throat
