I'm pretty sure there's still reason to feel threatened even if one's life plan isn't to learn just one thing. Being willing to continually learn doesn't mean there's an infinite capacity for how many skills a person can learn frequently or simultaneously. Being "willing to learn" sounds cool when you're in your 20's, but eventually the constant (and 99.9% needless) churn is going to become tiring and even insulting to one's intelligence. I feel sorry for anyone still in the constantly-learning mode in their 30s or greater, or the time in their life when they should be doing other things besides hustling.
It's not that I don't agree with you up to a point, but I wonder just how sustainable this trajectory really is. AI hasn't really been a "thing" in everyday life until relatively recently.
