I don’t believe LLMs will replace my software job anytime soon because my clients are unlikely to entrust their VPN, server, or database credentials to a non-human entity. The level of trust required simply isn’t there yet, and I believe it will be a decade or more before it is. I believe we will start to see a new label on SAAS products similar to ‘organic’, and ‘non-GMO’ that signifies LLMS won’t be directly working on your on prem servers or any of your databases.
Honestly, it’s wild to think how fast this is happening. By 2025, it feels like no job will be off-limits for AI—everything from customer service to content creation and even management could be taken over. Sure, companies will save money and boost productivity, but what about the people? Displacement, job insecurity, losing the creative touch—it’s hard not to feel uneasy about where this is headed. It’s not even a question of if AI will replace humans anymore—it’s how fast and what we’re willing to sacrifice.
CEOs are pushing full steam ahead, and with figures like Elon and Trump leading the charge, it feels like everything is heading toward AI domination. The UK is already bracing for mass redundancies next year across every sector—just look at the links above. It’s clear the mantra is shifting to "AI First," where every project and task is designed to be handled by AI. The pace of this change is staggering.
It seems like there’s a lot more value to be squeezed from current models. Specifically, their forgetfulness, laziness, and refusal to do some tasks correctly. I think it’s a user interface problem holding back progress, not a technology shortfall.
