No, it doesn't mean that and it's not worth worrying about.

If, as lots of people here are claiming, this stuff is going to "replace entire industries" it's going to take a while and will alter society radically, in ways nobody can predict and you can't really prepare for. If that happens you're on the roller coaster with the rest of us. Might as well keep doing what you enjoy and are good at for now.

However, it's much more likely that people are just getting carried away with an exciting (and incredibly impressive) technological advance and spectacularly underestimating the scale of the outstanding challenge. I certainly wouldn't recommend making major life choices on the assumption that AGI is imminent.
