Both of those things can be true... it's not just one or the other. There are plenty of jobs right now that are more menial tasks which will definitely be replaced by this, and I feel for those older folks in those positions because they'll most likely lose their jobs / be impacted by this.

Exactly. People forget that there used to be (up to about thirty years ago) a large number of people employed as "file clerks". Their job was to file and retrieve on demand paper documents in filing cabinets. When relational databases became practical, this information was stored and retrieved electronically and the entire job of "file clerk" was made obsolete.
