Software Engineers will have their place but no code and AI is aiming for the masses.

I actually think low-code will see a resurgence serving "almost technical" people such as tech business analysts, and also, drum roll... programmers. There is a current generation of maturing low-code tools (ex: Retool, PowerApps, Plasmic, Builder.io) which allow tech people to combine low-code and code as needed and which programmers may actually find attractive.
As for AI (ex: GPT), the main output it provides is code. It's nearly impossible to operate it at present for code-generation tasks without knowing how to code. Yes I think it's inevitable we will see a tool that blends current low-code graphical programming with NLP inputs. But it sounds very complex to make and I think it is likely to face the same base problems that low-code has.
