I believe AI can't replace jobs in Software, however it can indeed hurt the software and IT workers in the short and long run. The expectation or the belief that AI will replace workers is enough to do this, even if the outcome is not true. The performance of workers will always be benchmarked against AI tools and that will make negotiation of salary and higher positions harder.

The same can be said about digital artists, even though I think it's more complicated, since the assessment of quality of art is subjective and many shareholders only see digital art as a cost. For example why hire an artist to design a logo when instead you have a person with a prompt?
