There was an interview I watched with Cory Doctorow just a few weeks ago, where someone asked him, "What kind of evidence could be presented to you to make you believe that LLMs were now ready to replace people at jobs entirely?" And he basically responded that he didn't think it was possible they ever would, because they're not really thinking, they just "predict the next token". This in spite of him actually having first-hand experience with people getting loads of value out of Claude Code and GPT Codex.

Doctorow is one of those people who makes money from what he believes, so it’s very unlikely he’ll ever change his beliefs.
