I still argue that it is not stealing what they do.
People always learned from others and just because ai can do it much better doesn't change this.

Your skills should not be easily exchangeable otherwise you don't have a skill relevant to the might god of capitalism. That's how capitalism optimizes.
You either up skill or start pushing for a global income.
Your fear is counterproductive and you need to realize this as hard as it sounds.
If your fear blocks you from doing a good job the chance for you to get fired is higher.
The fear itself also blocks you from thinking which you need to do to take the necessary actions.
Accept first that this is 'just' how it is and yes it would be tremendously shitty and a lot of work if your worst case scenario happens BUT it would happen anyway.
So what to do?
1. Accept your situation. Talk to your partner you are not alone and together this problem already is smaller.
2. Start spending time on things which can help you: reduce house hold clutter, cleanup your CV, work well in your day job, rethink a nother country (Canada, Germany, etc)

Sure some will run it themselves but my guess is that this is a niche group of people as most don't care .
