The main challenge with any creative effort, including and especially programming, is motivation. "Easy coding" gives you small mental wins that build your dopamine circuits and give you something to chase. When people say that "AI takes the fun out of coding" they mean that they're not getting those rewards anymore. It might make coding easier (though I'm not sure it actually does, ultimately), but in the process it takes away the motivation.

The ones who are excited about this are the ones who are motivated by the product. When AI can whip up some half-baked solution it sure looks like you can focus on the product and "get someone to code it up for you". But unless it's a well-understood and previously executed solution, you're going to run into actual technical problems and have to fix them. But your motivation to deal with the irritating pedantrics of the modern computing stack (which are the same as all technology ever, with orders of magnitude more parts) hasn't been built up. There's no beneficial flywheel, just a fleet of the Sorceror's Apprentice mindless brooms that you hope you can get work enough to ship.
