Yeah I also see the potential of LLMs to become the biggest enforcers of general technological and societal stagnation.

You can look at it this way. Or, you can see it as raising the bar for new entrants. If a new programming language has sufficient merits to overcome a poor level of AI assistance, then nothing will stop it, at least in some circles.

But, if mainstream developers have become totally dependent on AI, it is going to be a high bar indeed.

It would be interesting to bake AI into compilers of any new language, so that auto-correction and education of the programmer happens every time they compile.

In general, though, I think people are too quick to surrender to AI.
