I see you take a pessimistic view.
The way I see it: smart phones just made photography more accessible to everyone rather than for those who can afford $5k photography kit and a darkroom. Stock and news media photography went the way of the dodo, but there's still plenty of room for photography as a creative endeavor.
No matter how much you throw at it, you cannot replace the human behind it. It is too difficult.
Our jobs as developers are safe for current and future iterations of AI. The way we develop software may very well change, but we will still be developers. It's very well possible that software will go the way of photography. But that only means software is in the reach of everyone who wants to try their hand at it. It is a net good.
But that's not likely to happen anytime soon. So yes, our jobs are safe. Mine is quite safe. For quite a long, long time.
