Work on tech that takes time to learn, learn about UX and Design Psychology, go deeper not into frameworks but how the entire tech facilitates the Frontend dev. GenAI can build you working template of your FE, add styles, buttons etc, which even takes a good FE not more than a few mins to an hour(if design is handy).
It can't optimize for User Interaction, latency with BE, memory management, authentication flows and session state management. That's what you should get your hands in

The opportunities will decrease because AI would do the grunt work. But the quality of work will drastically increase.
All you can do is upskill.

Do you think we will be obsolete in the next 5 years? Why do you think that won't be the case for backend devs?

Building basic apps might be replaced.
I have worked in a sophisticated and complex frontend driven product where the main selling point is UI/UX
Many enterprise products have bad UI/UX. Migrating and maintaining them will require good fronted devs.
Enterprise won't give ChatGPT access due to the leak of internal code into public.
Probably might help devs to move things faster in certain aspects. But not completely replace them. Where will the government get tax and run the country if no one has a job.
Policies and politics comes first before ChatGPT replaces us.
