Think about it this way:
There used to be one or two ovens per village, either at the bakers or in the town square. It took hours to heat up, by packing it full of precious wood, so everyone would get their bread from there, as building an oven and burning all that wood, just for one loaf of bread, would have been crazy. There were usually only a couple of kinds of bread being baked, as the work around the oven was so laborous.
Then people eventually got wood-burning kitchen ovens, that doubled as a heater and a stove. Then they baked their own bread, since the time and cost became negligable. But Most people Just baked the same bread over and over. At the most, they'd break it up into dinner rolls, or something.
And then everyone got electrical ovens and it got even easier and cheaper... and they all stopped baking. Now, almost everyone goes to the grocery store or the master bakery, where there is a wide, curated selection of bread, and choose from that selection.
In the same way, AI app generation won't lead to everyone creating their own apps. It'll lead to people becoming app-generation specialists and they'll offer an array of apps to choose from and further customize, hosting options, services, etc. Or they will concentrate on the data and storage layer, where the value is.
The dev talent will have to go one level deeper, in multliple directions, same way that baking had to become a factory good or an art form.
That is the effect of commoditization: go upscale or downscale.
