You sound more down on coding than many writers are on writing. I can't speak to coding, but as far as writing goes I'm pretty optimistic. For me writing has always been about making weird connections to show to readers and that part at least is getting better.

I wonder if, to your point about writing, is that there's gonna be a differentiation between mass market and niche.

The payscale for mass market writing is probably gonna shrink, or at least support fewer human authors, because AI may be able to reliably produce "good enough fare" for the mass market.  Especially business and technical writing, which is meant to be boilerplate, but also perhaps for some mass market fiction genres.

But perhaps AI will cause a flourishing of the indie and niche writing scenes, as authors have more time and tools to find their voice, and audiences have more tools to find the people that speak to them most directly, in a human way that the AI's can't (yet)

Just a thought.
