LLMs can absolutely disappear as a mass market technology. They will always exist in some sense as long as there are computers to run them and people who care to try, but the way our economy has incorporated them is completely unsustainable. No business model has emerged that can support them, and at this point, I'm willing to say that there is no such business model without orders of magnitude gains in efficiency that may not ever happen with LLMs.
