Nah. When AI is able to do all what you have said, requirements will just get harder and humans will still have to put hours to make something done. Just like 30 years ago it wasn't feasible to implement streaming music over the internet in a weekend, and now any teenager can do so by just 'npm install'ing... AI will only open the door to even more complex problems to solve.

Both of those things can be true... it's not just one or the other. There are plenty of jobs right now that are more menial tasks which will definitely be replaced by this, and I feel for those older folks in those positions because they'll most likely lose their jobs / be impacted by this.
Exactly. People forget that there used to be (up to about thirty years ago) a large number of people employed as "file clerks". Their job was to file and retrieve on demand paper documents in filing cabinets. When relational databases became practical, this information was stored and retrieved electronically and the entire job of "file clerk" was made obsolete.
