Better start learning cybersecurity or keep maintaining your programming knowledge for the future (if that'll come) because AI in its current state could only sufficiently replace the Rubber Ducky's job.

For the meantime, a job in real programming is dead (if you want to use that word). But the bubble is real as the cost of AI is unsustainable, future maintenance of codebases are gonna be unmaintainable, and market speculation is all gonna crash down once people realized it's as useful as having a bunch of juniors/newbies maintain a codebase.
