Good or bad, converting craft work to production work is not making the craft worker more productive, it's eliminating the craft worker.

The unskilled operator's position is also precarious, as you point out, but while it lasts, it's a different and (arguably) less satisfying form of work.

The LLM is not a table saw that makes a carpenter faster, it's an automatic machine that makes an owner's capital more efficient.

(Shrug) I don't know about "owners" and "capital," but used properly, they make me more efficient.
