It seems to me that all those careers are at risk of AI take-over the next 25 to 50 years. That means anybody under 40 needs to think big-picture about the threats to their livelihood in their lifetime. To me, it appears the article is written with maybe a five year horizon at most. Most workers have a career horizon much longer than five years.
Of course, the bigger, longer-range question is “What’s the need for puny humans once AI does everything?” Maybe that’s a 200 year question, or maybe 500 years from now.
But it sure is a fundamentally different question than a person living in 1000 AD pondering what life would be like in 1500 AD. Or a person alive in 1700 pondering what life would be like in 1800. For most of mankind’s existence, the future was almost always more of the past - drudgery, toil, and short lifespan. Then the Industrial Revolution started changing that and the change has been accelerating.
Of course, the bigger, longer-range question is “What’s the need for puny humans once AI does everything?” Maybe that’s a 200 year question, or maybe 500 years from now.
We’ll be free
When their work is done

Yes, and eternally young
What a beautiful world
This will be
What a glorious time
To be free
