Learning coding is still valuable for the same reason knowing basic arithmetic is useful. You technically don't need to know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide since a calculator can do it better, but even so it's still an incredibly useful skill. I think coding is the same way.

Now, is software engineering still a viable long term career option? Honestly, probably not (to be fair, I think most white collar jobs will be significantly automated away anyways). But if it's something you're genuinely interested in, I'd say you should still give it a shot.
