Not automatically, no.
How it affects employment depends on the shapes of the relevant supply/demand curves, and I don't think those are possible to know well for things like this.
For the world as a whole, it should be a very positive thing if creating usable software becomes an order of magnitude cheaper, and millions of smart people become available for other work.
