The book "Why We Fear AI" by Hagen Blix and Ingeborg Glimmer talks about this dynamic. Whether it will lead to a class awakening because previously if you were aligned with the company you were rewarded as well, but now if you align with the company you're advocating to destroy your livelihood.

In contributing to open source software at scale I'm teaching apprentices. I expect them to adapt what I've done to their own purposes, and have seen a good amount of that out in the wild, often people who ended up doing something entirely different like building hardware that also contains software.
I don't think LLMs will be able to pick up on what's done by an evolving and growing codebase with previous projects also included. More likely it will draw from older stuff and combine it with other people's more normal stuff and end up with an incoherent mess that won't compile. Not all work is 'come up with the correct answer to the problem, and then everybody uses it forever'.
It can lead to class awakening but I think AI is not sufficient. It would need very large scale climate / ecological disasters where suddenly lot of current middle classes conveniences become available only to top classes.
This is happening parts of the world where hyper scale data centers are being built. Rolling brown outs and diverting potable water from towns, you find these stories both in Ireland and across South America.
We already see it happening in the US too, with the Nashville data centers causing immense medical issues.
We don't need AGI to cause a massive amount of disruption. If leadership of companies want to force use these LLMs, which is what we've been experiencing the last two years, workers will be forced to use them.
It's not like there is an organic bottom up movement on driving this usage. It's always top down mandated by executives with little regard on how it impacts worker's lives.
We've also seen how these tools have made certain jobs worse, not better, like translating:
