I've never bought into it because like 80% of the work the world does is CRUD-level stuff which should be boring and simple so it can be readable and maintainable.

The craftspeople doing the other 20% of the code are at the top end of the skill spectrum, but AI is starting from the bottom and working its way up. They should be the least worried about AI taking over their output.

This is like throwing together dozens of stick frame homes that look alike vs. building custom log, brick, or stone houses. No one is going to be tearing down my drywall and marveling at how well the studs are spaced.
