Certainly a plausible thesis but like all the other industries blaming staff reductions on AI this needs a bit more evidence imo.
I also suspect that there will be quite a large market AI implementation. Easy enough to find somehow that knows what RAG is but I can see plenty companies needing external help to apply it to their business challenges

Instead of 2 project managers, 10 engineers, 2 qa, we need one manager, 2 developers and clade code. what's it. 5x reduction in billing and huge uncertainty (because clients can easily switch consultancies now or clients themself can manage the operations after initial implementation)

Some forms of consulting are definitely going away to give way to new ones.
