OP, is this realization just now hitting you lol? I had this convo with my colleagues 5 years ago.
I work in big tech and have no concerns about my kids. DH and I need to be able to hold on for 10 years to retire, I am nervous about that.
My kids are young but all interested in blue collar jobs that exist in the real world, not just the digital world. They will be fine.
I call absolute bs that you were having this conversation 5 years ago. 5 years ago AI as we know it categorically did not exist. The only thing that existed 5 years ago was suggested sentence finishers and vague language interpretation, things like BERT. Also call bs on your 'young kids who are interested in blue collar jobs'. Your 5 year old wanting to be a fireman is not a solution for this moment dude. If in fact you were high enough up the food chain in tech and smart enough to truly know this was coming 5 years ago, then your net worth should be high enough you dont both need to work for another decade.
