It's just another tool.
In the past, programmers didn't have compilers, or linters, or debuggers, or dependency managers, or ... etc. All the tooling a modern programmer uses could be viewed as having taken work away from humans.
Just like these tools, AI will help you write more, better, code. There's a long way to go until we can generate software from an end-user's description of what they want done.
