I think this is true.
The closest analogy for AI, IMO, is not intellisense or auto-complete. It is cloud (there's a case to be made for compilers too; I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader).
Cloud, like AI:
* transformed hard things that took a lot of time and expertise into simpler things (do you remember setting up database replication?)
* came with a lot of hype but ultimately provided a lot of value (do you remember grid computing?)
* had plenty of skeptics (see this reddit thread which has some examples[0])
* was adopted at various speeds depending on the person and company
* caused security concerns[1]
In the end, people found a place for cloud. It is still growing, but not everything will run on cloud.
The same is true of AI. People will find a place for it. It won't do everything. But just as many sysadmins were forced to adapt to cloud, many developers will be forced to adapt to AI.
