Assuming you could only delay it a few years, that's still a few years more than many other people would have.

I myself doubt AI is quite as good in the real world robotics as it is in coding though, and collective worker action could instead give them a few decades or until broader economic changes allows them to leave that job without being hurt financially.

Robotics and textual AI have very different risk profiles. Textual AI can just be provided to users even if they are completely crap because some users will get some usage out of them.

Robots can only be released once they are good enough to actually do anything, and have passed safety certification. So, not seeing robotic products out there is completely natural. But they are not far behind LLMs, and they will very suddenly take over the the factory world as soon as they cross these performance and safety thresholds.
