No. The errors in copying dna gives rise to mutations within an organism, which is the key driver of evolution. The mutations which benefit the organism in surviving its environment make it more likely to reproduce, thus spreading it through the population.

Although this tail is technically a hinderance to the peacocks everyday life, peahens have, by selecting males with the best tails, effectively designed the tail over many generations.
