Are you preparing for how AI is going to explode in the next few years? It’s likely to take a lot of jobs including coding jobs… If you keep up to speed you can likely have a job managing AI or something.

Yes, I am strongly considering how AI will change things. That's what shook me out of my job in the health field; though person-to-person and highly accredited, it involved a LOT of report writing, and I had been made aware in 2019 about the advent of AI.
I took a bootcamp in 2021 and studied the foundations of AI in 2022.
I'm now aware of the limitations of AI and how the training data - the information that fuels the 'new' decisions that AI takes - acts as the bottleneck for how effective it can be, or which decisions it winds up taking. 

On the other hand, you could make an argument that human likes and dislikes follow some foundational principles, so the training data that feeds into it might be enough for most jobs and processes. If we rely on it too much, it will bottleneck and delay genuinely transformational ideas and paradigm shifts.

Generative AI is based on training a model over an 'embedding' - a set of numerical values placed on a mostly-English vocabulary, which determines its relative usage and context. That allows it to pick the next 'best' word when given a topic and a prompt. But that might legitimately be enough in a lot of circumstances. Currently, Open AI limits how frankly or practical it wants to be, largely due to wanting universal appeal or to avoid certain political topics; it likes to fence-ride and be very moderate when anything controversial comes up, but it can shake you out of complacency and give you some good ideas.
It can even debug your code very quickly and fix it for you, something that I started making use of last March.

So, yes. I do think about it. But, strategy and big-picture architectural planning are not easily done by a robot.

You'd also be surprised how many web developers don't really know how to do their jobs, just phone it in and do what is necessary.
They don't understand networking principles such as IP addresses, switches, WiFi, port numbers. They don't really know much about cybersecurity principles. They don't really understand their database engine and how its execution plan works. Nor do they care to understand the deeper levels such as encryption technology, the OS kernel, firmware, etc.
So for them, 'technology' is this cloudy soup; the most concrete part of their framework is HTML (which is where my bootcamp began).
  
Those kinds of developers - who don't care to learn these things - will be the first on the chopping block. 
So, given that I'm accumulating these surrounding certificates, I believe that I've been positioning myself higher up on the Titanic (visual: its stern is pointed up towards the sky) while it's sinking.
