This is part of progress (be it good or bad progress).

It used to be that the majority of the US population worked in agriculture and today thanks to automation - it’s around 1% of the population. Same goes for numerous roles (secretaries, switchboard operators etc.)

As far as ChatGPT goes - I have a lot of concerns around it, but I am still not convinced it will replace search. I think it might compliment search. Either way I think it’s a good thing if how we search changes. Search is broken, it no longer brings me the best results, it’s becoming harder and harder to differentiate between ads and legit links (this is of course intentional because of revenue and KPIs) and I know longer trust the results. I am not sure if chatGPT is the answer, but maybe it’s part of the answer.

Important lesson - teach your kids to have a self development mindset. They need to be prepared to have multiple career changes and that their current skill set might be made obsolete at any moment. It sucks, but it’s reality and when things change, they change fast.
