That kind of cookie-cutter site generation is already kind of possible without AI. The AI might dream up the design (which is cool, and certainly a threat to designers). But all the hard parts of actual logic that would be unique to this project still needs to be specified, implemented, verified.
Now you might say: but what's so special about a shoe store? Payment, inventory, shopping carts, databases - it can all be the same as every other shoe store!
But that's the key takeaway here. If you work in something where the next deployment has much in common with the last one: then your job is at risk. But these jobs have been eaten by SaaS for a long time. An "online store as a service" was a thing long before AI.
Could AI help take over this type of software development even more? Sure. But that's like machines taking over dull industrial jobs. We shouldn't worry about being out of a job, we should be happy that we can do more interesting things than what the machines can do, just like we could stop weaving fabric.
