This misses the key advantage of AI to businesses: lower total overhead through AI. You’re acting as though every job lost to AI will be replaced with another job opening somewhere else, but that hasn’t been true for efficiency automation historically (sorry horses), unless you’re talking about jobs that aren’t in the same field, in which case you’re just pulling a “learn to code”.
There will be people who have 10+, 20+ years of experience whose jobs will be lost, and they can’t just start over from square 1 in their careers.
The former makes us freeze in fear, the latter allows us to take action.
