I mean just look at self driving cars, we're almost there, a couple companies already have limited driverless taxi services running in cities. Trucking companies have delivered goods autonomously over 1000s of miles. Yet people think we are a decade away, some claim it is impossible lol. They somehow illusionary think the progress will suddenly stop.

On the plus side, even if we had perfect AI today, it will still take years or even decades until whole industries are replaced, so most people are still save yet. I hope we have figured out some UBI by then.

Cars, trucks and other targets will take some time, but think about remote jobs. Most of the listings in Fiverr and similar sites are going to be demolished.

All those people from 1, 2 and 3rd rate countries that are studying web development right now, backend devs, database people... most people that are in the low to mid level dev skills are going to bite the dust pretty soon.
