Raw LLM Responses

I think that misses the issue. When an aspiring junior says "AI will replace us," they mean "AI will replace programmers like myself who are incompetent and inexperienced with producing production-grade work in a production environment. And since companies don't like to spend money, they would rather make their senior engineers prompt AI to complete the easy, low-hanging fruit tasks instead of paying me to do them. But unfortunately for aspiring juniors like me, those are the only types of tasks I can actually do from day one with no training. Which puts me in a bind because companies don't want to train juniors, and they also refuse to wait for us to get up to speed on our own so we can eventually make valuable contributions." So they're right that AI will replace software engineers. Just... would-be *junior* software engineers, mostly. Their fears are valid.
