Have you been living under a rock? We might not get "super-intelligences" (if such a thing even exists) from LLMs but they've proven incredibly useful in basically anything relating to text, including code.

The point is that they’re going to be surpassed by a much better technology that doesn’t have the inherent and unavoidable downsides of LLMs.
Like, right now especially in the US you’d probably sound crazy saying that one day nobody’s going to buy a gasoline car, and that EVs are going to completely replace them. But that’s basically an inevitability based on the direction we know technology is going to go, it’s only a matter of when.
World models will definitely incorporate LLMs or at least text decoders in their final architecture, LLMs are here to stay.
Maybe this is a dumb analogy but is that kind of like saying “well EVs will still use lubricant! Cars that use oil are here to stay!”?
The point being that the way we heavily rely on LLMs specifically right now is likely to cease to be the case, and that in the future they’ll be almost like an irrelevant component.
