No more so than "no code" tools. I imagine the first assembly programmers might have seen the first compilers as an existential threat.
But the job of a software engineer is to solve problems and add value w/ software. A small part of that is writing code. Most of it is designing the right level of abstraction, the interfaces and so forth.
Lastly, as mentioned elsewhere, we will probably always need human debuggers.
