People thought tractors were going to lead to the loss of farming jobs. But instead, those jobs changed. To tractor drivers, to mechanics, to tractor building, selling, etc.
Bank tellers were worried that ATMs were going to take their jobs, but in reality, they freed up several tasks for the tellers to focus on other banking needs.
Coal jobs have been on the decline for 40 years. And those jobs have slowly changed into solar panel manufacturing, wind power manufacturing, etc.
The jobs that seem to be ending, will actually just eventually change. Some into areas we already know, some jobs we haven't come up with yet. But corporate america will always use this as a boogeyman to keep productivity high with wages low.
