Then youre wrong. There is no market incentive for layoffs due to GPT-like technology, as I have demonstrated above. Similar breakthroughs "replacing jobs" have happened before in the field of software engineering, this is nothing new or unprecedented. Its merely another tool that will become in widespread use to increase production.

What i think will lead to mass layoffs is the current recession rather.

  > this is nothing new or unprecedented

This is both new and unprecedented.

Huh? I literally just gave you an example of tech that automated away what 90% of programmers were doing.
