Not disagreeing, but what does that help the thousands who will still lose their jobs regardless?

It doesn't.

Unionize. Individually your power to change things is weak, together your power is strong. The only thing power listens to is a greater power and the reality is that your bosses likely rely on you more than you rely on them.

I guarantee you do have useful skills and that they are better than what an LLM can produce. Don't listen to the hype that will be used to justify taking your ability to live from you in exchange for higher profits.

Just wait it out ..... being confidently wrong only works for a limited time until people realize it isn't working at all .... and the point at which people, especially corporate leaders, realize it isn't working is the point when they start seeing that they aren't making money any more.

Irrigation, mechanization, computers, internet, web search and now LLMs destroyed jobs but also created new ones, often more qualified and better paid if you learned to use the new tech. Why would this suddenly change today? Just learn to use it like you learned to use web search and adapt to the jobs evolutions that are coming from it.
