I found myself thinking AI would make the perfect scapegoat for an enterprising political party. There is a lot of animus to tap into there.

I wouldn't bet on LLMs steamrolling jobs of a nurse or military personnel any time soon.

There are so many more reasons to hate AI than just “it is taking my job”. But even if we’re just sticking to that, some people don’t like that it will replace their co workers, neighbors or family members job.
