Also remember when Geoffrey Hinton famously predicted all radiologists would be out of a job by now in 2016? That also didn't happen. So yeah, I would take these predictions with a massive grain of salt. So far the employment numbers in the US are looking extremely good.

Many, many predictions about job losses came true. Jobs stop existing if they can be performed automated to a large extent, this has come true for many, many jobs over time. There is a great German video series about elderly people (in their 80s or even 90s) showing the trades they learned when they were young. They were doing stuff like carving troughs out of trees, making wooden wheels, operating water powered saws and similar stuffs. None of these jobs exist anymore.

In fact it is completely natural and healthy that there is a transformation in the job market, although it can easily be a tragedy for the individual.

Voice actors are a tiny group. They don't really factor into nation wide statistics.
