Hard to say. On the one hand, there's a lot of front end work that AI could simplify or automate, since a fair amount of it is just boilerplate (and the kind that's heavily represented in their dataset). If you want a simple React component or basic registration form or something, then ChatGPT or Copilot can set it up in seconds. Just tested it now, and it's basically Bootstrap on demand.
But that's not the whole picture when it comes to this sort of work. Yes, you can generate components and pages, and that's nice enough. But it's how they glue together that matters, and what use case they solve, and in many cases, what bespoke functionality they have for domain specific requirements. AI tools can't solve that, nor can anyone who uses them without real programming knowledge make those sorts of systems.
I do worry about juniors though. I suspect quite a few companies will realise they don't need many of them if they can just give AI tools to their designers and senior devs and have them quickly pump out the boilerplate stuff in seconds...
