This type of sentiment is not valuable at all and overly pessimistic. Current AI tech is not very likely to replace work that requires a modicum of logical reasoning and the tech to do so has no known path forward as of now.
Also, there have been substantial new developments and discoveries about what transformer models do (both internally and in terms of capacity) every week or two for most of this year, so why do you think there's no known path forward?
Thinking of logic, I just tried the following with gpt-3.5, gpt-4, and gpt-4-1106-preview. The newest model spotted the trick (and then still got it wrong), the older two didn't even spot the trick. Can you spot the trick?

A person is in Nairobi. They board a plane, fly 9000 km north, then 1000 km east, then 9000 km south, then 1000 km west. Where are they now?
I don't know about you but my team's backlog is virtually endless. If AI/LLM/whatever can automate away a ton of dev work, that doesn't mean we're going to fire 90% of our team. It means we might have a glimpse of being able to actually make a dent in all the work that we want to do but can't.
