Right, maybe, but Aumasson's whole point is that this prediction doesn't apply to AES, SHA2, BLAKE2, &c.

What makes your prediction more likely than:
"LLMs will accelerate math research, allowing us to prove that meaningfully sized quantum computers are impossible and crypto is secure. Modern cryptographic algorithms remains unbroken until the last human is turned into a paperclip in the year 2430"
