If your average user doesn't even know what sftp is, I'm almost certain they won't be able to telnet into a server and start running ssh commands, so in that respect, I don't think it's quite over yet for developers.
I've been testing a few different providers to see if it can improve my own development time. I'm not sure yet if it has, maybe I need a better prompt. Anyway I only did a basic bootstrap layout (1 page lander with hero carousel and scroll to section navigation), a quick query to pull records from a database and a function to display the results in said layout using lazy load. So, technically, it did provide both front end (html,css,javascript) and backend programming (php code) from a prompt.
Normal time (100% finished links/text/images/etc) without AI:
Maybe 2-3 hours.
Time with AI:
Maybe 2 hours. But, I had to fine tune things and replace placeholder images as well, so maybe closer to 3 hours.
I really don't think your average user is going to have the slightest clue on how any of it works, or how to piece it together. I know there are some services available that will put it all together for you, but they will still have to pay a monthly fee to use it. Maybe the DIY types will try it, then realize it's not as easy or quick as they thought.
Either way, I don't think AI is going away any time soon, so probably best to figure out how to use it to your advantage.
