This brings up a philosophical question. Are we willing to hand over the role of "theory building" to LLM if that's even possible? If yes, what will be the role of human beings?

It may destroy many foundational assumptions that humans have had for thousands of years.

Theory building for, say, physics? No, humans need to understand that, if at all possible.

Theory building for a program? That's less important. But you give up any chance of a human ever being able to work well on it. That may be an important loss; we'll know in 5 or 10 years.

It's very conceivable that we reach a point where software is treated as a black box, i.e. no human ever reads it, only LLMs read and modify it. Isn't this essentially what vibe-coding means?
