Depends what you consider "skilled".
Jobs that require intelligence and lots of rote memorisation - yes, absolutely. Jobs that require any imagination/nuance/thinking outside of the box ... not really. Not until/unless they actually develop a truly sentient AI, which may not even be possible. They're getting very, very good at faking intelligence but they are not anywhere near sentient or self-driven.
Also it won't be basic jobs like burger flipping ironically - they could do that already, they don't because it's not actually practical to replace human labour with robots. AI won't be flipping your burgers or fixing your car. They might replace your doctor or your lawyer, though, or at least aspects of what they do. Anything that mostly requires knowledge and experience and has concrete answers, rather than improvisation.
