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"

There are plenty of algorithms that quantum algorithms give no benefit to. Quantum is NOT a free for all making everything faster. It’s only faster at two very,very restricted things: hidden subgroup problem (which is used for RSA, but most problems do not rely on HSP), and Grover search, which reduces a specific search problem from O(N) to O(sqrtN).
