I don't think so negatively. My bet: innovation in programming language design will emerge that will make it a lot "less necessary/helpful" to use AIs.
Just one example: Quite some programmers claim that AI take a lot of "tedium" from the programming away. But what if we could create programming languages that mostly get rid of this "tedium" (e.g. by using higher-level abstractions to abstract away the tedious, repetitive tasks)?
