Why you should work much harder RIGHT NOW

If strong AI will lower the value of your human capital, your current wage is relatively high compared to your future wage.  That is an argument for working harder now, at least if your current and pending pay can rise with greater effort (not true for all jobs).

If strong AI can at least potentially boost the value of your human capital, you should be investing in learning AI skills right now.  No need to fall behind on something so important.  You also might have the chance to use that money and buy into the proper capital and land assets.

So…WORK HARDER!

Addendum: From Ricardo in the comments:

Suppose you are the best maker of horse carriages in Belgium around the time the automobile is invented. You might want to take on as many orders as possible for new carriages because you know your future is precarious. Or, maybe you get your hands on one of these new-fangled automobiles as soon as possible and learn how fix them. Both options require you to WORK HARDER but these seem to be the two best options available. Paradoxical but true.
