Advice I would give anyone concerned about competing with AI: change the context so you're not in direct competition.

One approach would be to ride the wave. Experiment with new AI-enabled tools as they are released, and learn their limitations. Then you will have a relative advantage over those unfamiliar with the tools, and will be able to identify potential ways to leverage and complement their capabilities. You'll then be able to provide expertise with regard to how to properly use these tools, and not overspend on tools which are a poor fit to the job at hand. Think Gartner, but more hands on.

Let me know if this works for you, but I expect the approach should get you past analysis paralysis and replace fear with reasoned concern.
