I dunno if LLMs will get better, but ML in general is a task of compression, and there is definitely a whole bunch of human knowledge and history that neural nets can compress.

Its not unfeasable in the future to have a box at home that you can ask a fairly complicated question, like "how do I build a flying car", and it will have the ability to

- tell you step by step instructions of what you need to order

- write and run code to simulate certain things

- analyze you work from video streams and provide feedback

- possibly even have a robotic arm with attachments that can do some work.

unbounded possibilities! imagine, and hear me out, asking the box: 'how do I build a box that can answer fairly complicated questions', and getting the output in an automatized way all the way from atoms, ready to be plugged into the power grid.
It's a wishing for more wishes from a genie scenario. But it isn't enough to just have a box that can do this, the box needs a body, preferably a humanoid one so that it can interface easily with our existing infrastructure.
