I dont think the prediction game is worthwhile.

The Cloud was meant to decimate engineering AND development. But what it did was it created enough chaos that theres a higher demand for both than ever, just maybe not in your region and for your skillset.

LLMs are guaranteed to cause chaos, but the outcome of that chaos is not predictable. Will every coder now output the same as a team of 30 BUT there are 60 times as many screwed up projects made by wannabe founders that you have to come in and clean up? Will businesses find ways to automate code development and then turn around and have to bring the old guys back in constantly to fix up the pipeline. Will we all be coding in black boxes that the AI fills in?

I would make sure you just increase your skills and increase your familiarity with LLMs in case they become mandatory.
