I agree with you, however when talking about jobs that are relegated to the physical world like the trades, I dont think it safe to assume that robotics wont also benefit from the AI advancements. Thereby eventually encroaching on those jobs as well.

The following is a recent video from the youtuber "Two Minute Papers" about some researchers (Clemens Schwarke, Victor Klemm et al.) who have created a highly mobile autonomous robot running software trained via simulated reinforcement learning models.

i think it demonstrates the potential for the kind of motile finesse that could be used by robots to complete trades-like tasks.
