IMO they will.
What are LLMs actually good at?
Copycat code and copycat ideas.
IMO we are going to see a massive wave of interoperability, and "good enough" software to compete and drop the value of software dramatically.
This will drop profitability drastically, and put downward pressure on salaries.
