Who knows what there will be besides LLMs. I don't really get why AI can't exceed the human brain in everything someday unless you are religious and see some supernatural aspects to the brain

Maybe we can or cannot build such a thing. We have no natural example for some exponentially self improving intelligence.
We also cannot build living animals from scratch or are anywhere close to it - maybe some forms of AI are much tougher to do than we think.
If you take a step back and look at computing in general as some amorphous evolving entity, it can be said the Machines are getting better and I would be surprised if it wasn’t exponential.
Talking out of my ass here, but my point is that I think The Machines(c) don’t look like biological and separated entities. I think it’ll look more like what we call corporations (hive minds) composed of a vast variety of different functional parts.
There was one article I read that discussed an "AI Winter". The tl;dr being that our entire global compute likely isn't sufficient enough for a hypothetical AGI.
What's more likely, IMO, is using real brain cells. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2022/oct/human-brain-cells-dish-l...
However, real brain cells are a big question of ethics if it's thus actually able to think. I would argue that we've then created a slave rather than a machine, and that is unacceptable.
