Understanding what you are plotting and displaying in the dashboard is the complicated part, not writing the dashboard. Programmers are not very afraid of AI because it is still just a glorified fronted to stackoverflow, and SO has not destroyed the demand for programmers so far. Also, understanding the subtle logical bugs and errors introduced by such boilerplate AI-tools requires no less expertise than knowing how write the code upfront. Debugging is not a very popular activity among programmers for a reason.

It may be that one day AI will also make their creators obsolete. But at that point so many professions will be replaced by it already, that we will live in a massively changed society where talking about the "job" has no meaning anymore.
