This is not even true.
People think that AI can code at entry level for the same reason they think an AI can teach, be a doctor... Anytime soon. They don't notice the nuance of what people can do and the mental tasks people do without realizing.
Think about it. People say "bro a decision tree can replace a doctor", but when you go to the doctor, he picks up on hints on what you say and how you say it, in order to determine what you mean, puts the info together and knows what is meaningful and what isn't, and the result of that is what would go into any "decision tree" if anything.
For the same reason, when writing code for an app, programmers do more complex reasoning than they notice, because they have to understand a goal and how each function helps with it and why (AI can write code for simple tasks but that's it). Junior devs can do that already, but an AI can't.
There was just some major money printing from central banks a while ago and now there's not, so there's layoffs from bad investments. That's how the economy works. When you see that devs are getting laid off from AI, that's literal journalists saying that. AI has no effect on the programming job market, source: I code for a living, tried to use AI to help with it, know how other programmers are doing too, and I also know how AI works
