The people writing articles for journals that aggregate and approximate other sources are in mortal terror of LLMs. Likewise graphic designers and anyone working in (human language) translation.

I don't fear that LLMs are going to take my job as a developer. I'm pretty sure they mark a further decrease in the quality and coherence of software, along with a rapid increase in the quantity of code out there, and that seems likely to provide me with reliable employment forever. I'm basically employed in fixing bugs that didn't need to exist in the first place and that seems to cover a lot of software dev.

They're not scared of LLMs because of anything about LLMs. It's just that everyone with power is publicly horny to delete the remaining middle class jobs and are happy to use LLMs as a justification whether it can functionally replace those workers or not. So it's not that everyone has evaluated chatgpt and cannily realized it can do their job, they're just reading the room.
