In a free market, there are many competitors, new startups, companies and teams may be created, but the general trend is that fewer people are needed to produce a product as productivity increases. A few years ago, a programmer would look for a front-end programmer and vice versa, but now it is not an obvious issue because they can almost work full stack for their small projects.
Yes I was referring to the scale of replacement these CEOs are talking about because of AI.
What you describe makes sense and has always been the case with new technology overall
