Welcome to being a luddite.
It's not actually about hating the progression of technology, it's realizing that your labor has been leveraged against you. You will not bear any of the true fruits, because your bosses will use the fruits of your labor to purchase the AI to replace you.
It's because the labor market is fucked and developers needed unions 20 years ago instead of thinking because they were "rockstars" and "made the big bucks" that they didn't need anybody else.
We wouldn't have to ask these kind of questions if the fruits of our labor were being equitably distributed.
Basically in the scenario described, this is what's happening to developers:
Capitalism is an auto-immune disease of society.
Unions in the us have ruined any interest in joining. Other countries have different imblementations. If I could start from scratch but laws favor the existing taking over.
