Impact doesn't mean turning obsolete. History is full of new inventions and technologies that made easier to do some boring and repetitive part of a job, and democratized access to some part of that job for far more people, enhanced what can be done, let the people that know to be more effective and opened new fields. Same goes for automation. Of course, people that took the easy approach of just mindlessly repeating something and not trying to understand about what they were doing will be impacted too. If they try to keep what they were doing as always, still without trying to learn or use their experience in the new fields that will be opening, then they may be negatively impacted. But events like this one are the constant, not the exception, even for something as big as this promises to be.
