Oh absolutely, LLMs are already causing a slaughter in applications where quality doesn't really matter to the company, like customer service. With minor improvements they're going to be a serious problem for any junior developer/lawyer/journalist/reviewer/artist/whatever, and if they ever fix the hallucinations issue it's game-changing. On the other hand, it's still a big "if" whether a general hallucinations solution exists, and in the meantime we're paying a pretty high price for it, as the entire internet is being flooded with absolute garbage. We risk getting stuck in a situation where there is no way to get new senior people because nobody hired them as juniors because AI is cheaper and good enough, and senior people are getting less and less productive due to them being unable to use websites like StackOverflow as reference material. That's a pretty high price for a tiny gain, if you ask me.
