No, just because they evolved from dinosaurs in the ancient past doesn't mean that they're dinosaurs now. Just like humans aren't considered Apes.
But humans ARE considered Apes (along with bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans).

Calling people "apes" is generally frowned upon outside of certain subcultures.
It's the scientific categorization.
