It’s been less than a year since the release of GPT-4, which seems to have been what prompted that claim. Even if the claim is true, many employers might not know it or believe it yet. Also, it would take time for employers to adapt their workflows to replace human engineers with LLMs.
Anectodal evidence from another field impacted by LLMs—translation—suggests that work is starting to dry up for many freelancers, especially those who work remotely. Translators who work within companies or other large organizations and whose work involves more human interaction seem to be holding on to their jobs—for the time being at least.
