I don't find such perspectives useful because they only consider two extremes: either we keep our jobs or become jobless.
The fact is, AI is currently capable of replacing some jobs, and it will likely replace even more in the future. However, this does not mean that we will all become jobless. Instead, engineers will become more valuable as they are needed to support and develop these complex systems.
Though, the amount of engineers will be reduced for sure.

Why do you assume the demand for the output of engineers will remain constant? More likely it will continue growing (as it always has - "software is eating the world"), and engineers will be able to produce more output efficiently. This doesn't necessarily mean there will be fewer engineers.
