I'm my view, the core of front-end work was always the UI "User Interaction".
Yes some can be solved by designers, but I believe there will still be a big market for designer-programmers.
The programmers that understand design, interaction, pixels and colors will still be of great value.
But if you don't really care about how stuff looks or can't tell a difference between an animation at 25fps vs 50 fps, it is a good sign it is time to try something else.
AI will simply refine your skillset. A backend programmer will have more time to think about architecture, a data engineer/scientist will have more time to think about maths. Or in essence "what am I trying to achieve". And it is up to you to step up to it.
I rather think of this generation with hordes of "coders, writing code" as an anomaly.
Probably not, but if you are the UI developer that gets annoyed by it every time you open the application, it means you are probably in the right place.
