As someone who has had to deal with physical filing cabinets, as part of an IT job no less, I can tell you that no one actually wants to go back to full physical record keeping. I don't think you can put that genie back in the bottle without a full on overhaul of society top to bottom. We're talking throwing people from rooftops for owning a laptop levels of madness required to achieve that.
What we're more likely to see is people wising up about how they interface with AI, including a large push for locally hosted AI. You want to have all your LLM capabilities applied to secure data? Cool, here's an air-gapped server rack to run that LLM. You can walk the read-only CD into the server room and load it up and do your LLM stuff right there in the middle of all the server racks if you really need it.
The tech isn't going away, but we will see dramatic changes to how it gets used and the precautions people will take with it. Kind of how like cars now have air bags, turn signals, horns and roads have actual lanes. The car didn't go away just because the only two cars in the entire city managed to find each other and get in a wreck. We just...built out more conventions and accessories to better adapt the technology into our world.
