In general, it is much harder to create an AI that can do one's job perfectly than it is to find better ways to make a job obsolete. In a free market economy, if there is a way to make a job obsolete and improve economic productivity, it will be done.
If AI sees freak growth in efficacy, we will have greater things to worry about than the job market.
Open to any counterarguments, although do note that I have hedged my claims by using the terms "in general" and "perfectly". So if you know of a counterexample where it is not true, do let me know.
