Whats hilarious (in general, not directed at you personally) is that computers have been "taking people's jobs", at scale, for around 40 years now.
We didn't really care when it was factory workers, or payroll clerks, or switchboard operators. But now that it's going after programmers, now we care.
The good news is that there are a bunch of other jobs still left. And for a long time yet there are still lots of IT jobs that are safe.
To be fair, low-skill programming jobs have been replaced for years. Lots of them outsourced offshore. (Does it matter if your job goes to AI or a Bengali?). But today's systems are huge, and complex, and require a lot more than what AI can do (impressive as that is.)
Frankly, if you work at a place, and you look around the room, and all you see are cogs in the machine, and you dont want to be a cog, then you're already in the wrong place.
