No, this will just lead to more software being developed, with more requirements for devs. Jevon's paradox, perhaps.
It's like any tool, it multiplies the effort of a designer. Previously we had shovels, so we needed a lot of healthy guys to shovel dirt. Now we have earth movers, and we use a more trained person to operate it. But it also means there's a lot more projects that become viable, so more people will end up getting sucked into them.
Personally I'm looking forward to being able to specify software without having to deal with minor issues like forgetting what to import, off-by-ones, and that kind of thing. I can spend more time thinking about the requirements.
