Too bad constant capital like AI doesn't generate surplus value, only humans do. You can't exploit machines, they only transfer their own value to the product over their lifetime.
Even if replacing those workers with LLMs in whatever field this is actually works, profit increases will only be temporary until competing firms also do it and prices start falling below what they were before.
Having a higher ratio of constant to variable capital will help them set prices above values, so they can appropriate value produced in other sectors, but even that might be offset by the falling rate of profit. Or the burst of the bubble / the next crisis.
In the end, AI or no AI, all capitalists want to form a monopoly, to be able to price gouge and appropriate surplus value produced in other sectors or by smaller firms.
