One of the things that bothers me about AI discourse is assumed inevitability of everything. "It's only going to grow." "It's going to put a lot of people out of work."
The evidence is very strongly against the "it's only going to grow" assumption. It almost certainly will shrink.
There are very few jobs that an LLM could reasonably replace long term. I believe companies will try but they'll quickly realize it's not viable and then rehire to fix the problem.
