I'm not as worried. There was a massive industry bubble that the pandemic pushed to its bursting/deflating point that is going on regardless of AI.
For some early stage prototyping stuff, sure some jobs may be drying up, but that whole sector is dry due to lack of funding now anyway.
We're not seeing the massive productivity increases that are shrinking teams dramatically, but we are seeing nervousness in hiring in case that happens, which is very different at this point.
Industrial agriculture killed lots of farming jobs, and other sectors emerged to employ those people. Computers were supposed to eliminate tons of jobs. Now we just have a massive amount of people working on computers and the tech that runs on them instead.
