This argument is fallacious.
I enjoy a lot of things (Software Engineering is one of them) that in NO way determines whether or not AI is coding, nor does it guarantee me a career (just ask all the blacksmiths that disappeared once cars became the mass transport vehicle).
The fact that people are going to (possibly) be able to instruct a computer to do whatever they wish without the need of a four year degree and several years of experience scares you, I get that, but that's not going to have any effect on reality.
Edit: Have a look at all the peoples careers that have ended because software took over.

And more importantly perhaps to u/shortrounddev2, if they enjoy coding so much, they'll still be able to do it as a hobby! It's just that there may not be anybody willing to pay for a slow lumbering human to work their way through the problem.
