What you said are just predictions. My personal experience is very different. AI is removing a lot of tedium from coding right now and is freeing my time to do more interesting things than writing tests, for instance - more time spent on design and architecture. This isn't a prediction, it's my reality today, as well as many friends in the industry.
I don't question your point that companies will just start keep pushing workers harder. In that case, it's business as usual and will work like all innovations that save time, the computer included.
Job displacement is a real possibility, but it comes with any new technology. Some of them displace jobs quickly, others not so much. AI will likely be a major job displacer and many people will have to adapt. Just like in the past, trying to slow down the technology won't work because the people in power want those savings. Again, I think this is the unfortunate "business as usual" of technological evolution. I have empathy for those who will be affected, but I also think of the flipside: we can create things that will improve people's lives like we did with many other job-displacing innovations.
About your last paragraph, of course they are saying that. They want US$2 trillion IPOs.
