While I don't think AI will replace anyone in the near term, I find it interesting how many people react in IT field to any attempts to automate code development to a certain degree using AI. This reaction is quite harsh and emotional. "If you think you can be replaced by AI, it means you are a shitty developer" is quite popular). This talks more not about LLMs, but about our own insecurities. Yes, you CAN be replaced by either AI, or any other technology shift, or by younger more productive developers, or simply by market forces rulling your skills out of favour. It happened before, it'll happen again.
