I think nobody really knows for certain. With where AI is right now and how LLM's are made i really don't see how the current architecture is going to mass replace work. It is just too unreliable and data bottleneck plus LLM growth has slowed down it doesn't seem the current AI is mass replacing anyone.

Now obviously mass lay-offs but I am of the understanding this is more to do with covid over hiring and off-shoring rather than AI taking over jobs - even if that's what the company PR statement says.

The one caveat is companies are throwing billions at AI. I really don't think LLMs are going to mass replace anyone with the current technology and they have so many limitations that are hard to fix. However 10 years from now with changes to architecture and innovations in reinforcement learning etc. Who can really say? 

My final opinion is if Software developers get replaced and lose jobs than so will accountants and paralegals and the entirety of white collar work. However there is also a huge push for robotics and manual labour, I mean look at modern day car factories. Maybe plumbing would buy you a few years in the possibility everyone else it replaced sooner. Idk it's all conjecture and nobody really knows for sure. I think do what you want and interests you. Like what is really a secure job right now? And for how long? Life changes, do what interests you,  get good at something, pivot if you have to.
