I think this is a somewhat short sighted perspective. It's not really augmenting, but replacing cognition.
I see people starting to unlearn working by themselves rapidly and becoming dependant on GPT, making themselves quite useless in the process. They no longer understand what they're working with and need the help from the tool to work. They're also entirely helpless when whatever 'AI' tool they use can't fix their problem.
This makes them both more replaceable and less marketable than before.
It will have and already has a huge impact. But it's kinda like the offshoring hype from a decade ago.
Everyone moved their dev departments to a cheaper country, only to later realize that maybe cheap does not always mean better or even good. And it comes with a short term gain and a long term loss.
