I and many others have said this before, but I'll say it again.
Programming is the easy part. It really isn't hard and has never been hard to write software that generates code and other software. We've been doing that since the early 2000s with frameworks like winforms, and oh yeah compilers. The only difference now is that we're doing statistical analysis that costs literally billions of dollars in order to generate that code with a data first approach.
To generate code that actually does what you want and what your client wants, all while not being a clusterfuck of spaghetti that breaks after 6 months of changes? That's the challenging part.
So sure, if you need someone to hold your hand every step of the way in order to get a task done and to literally tell you step by step what must be done after two years of being a junior developer, then yeah you probably don't have a bright future. However, that'd be true regardless of if the AI boom was present or not.
To answer the question more directly: no I'm not afraid.
