So, from past reading, I believe that a lot of jobs in brick-and-mortar banks
which have historically had a major brick-and-mortar presence
have been on a long decline. That's a phenomenon that well predates popular LLM use, brought about by Internet, ATMs, and similar, which tended to displace brick-and-mortar stuff.
I physically went by my local bank the other month (for the first time in a long time) and while the building was still there, it was like a tomb. All of the service desks that had once held tellers were empty. There was one person in an office handling the few people coming by in person.
