LLMs probably won't break curve cryptography. Cryptography researchers armed with LLMs are a different story.

Okay and why should we believe that?
It depends a lot on your priors. I think making existing cryptography researchers hyperefficient and much more mathematically capable is likely to generate some disruptive results, but you may disagree.
If this were a real possibility, it would be getting a lot more attention. Not just some crypto bros worried about losing magic beans.
Don't forget LLMs can now design efficient high speed hardware systems, a traditional slow-down for many attackers which represents a significant barrier to scalable next-gen attacks falling. Unfortunately memory prices are through the roof, but that isn't always significant.
