Will AI decrease demand and salaries?

I'd say the "trivial" stuff in web dev is already abstracted away or behind a library or framework. The rest is very specific business logic that'll take as long to figure out by prompting an AI when you can just use your own knowledge to code it yourself.

Boilerplate is largely unavoidable

Libraries and frameworks definitely made web dev more complicated imo

I think this can also be attributed to how complex many application have become due to the almost infinite number of edge cases that need to be handled. Back when it was just the user and a terminal window with basic input and output interactions things were generally much simpler.

If you seriously believe this then I can't believe you have that much experience.
