Will we end up with a world where the only experts are LLM companies, having a monopoly on thinking. Will future humans ever be as smart as us or are we the peak of human intelligence and can AI make progress without smart humans to provide training data, getting new insights and increasing its intelligence?

Only if something exists. But both nothing and something could not exist, and then there is no duality, just nothingness without a something to relate it too.
The concept of Nothing can only exist if Something exists, they both exist and are the substance that make up the universe.

Strictly speaking, modern cosmology does not treat the Big Bang as the beginning of all of existence, it's what happens when you take observations about large scale cosmology and run them backwards in time.
Based on the information we have available about our universe, we can't make predictions or formally model anything prior to a certain point in time, consequently it's convenient to treat this moment as the earliest point in time in which physics as we know it makes any sense. So while there may have been some kind of existence prior to the Big Bang, we have no way to make sense of it even at a conceptual level. Given that, we may as well treat this special point in time as the beginning of the universe as we understand it and can explain it using physics, as opposed to some absolute beginning of all of existence.
Thank you for your insightful response.

"beginning" is a misnomer, since time itself started with the Big Bang. There is no such thing as "before" the singularity, as time and space were curved together.
Time is a map of the states of consciousness, I believe consciousness/awareness of the universe has no beginning just infinite layers of abstraction.

"Nothing" implies that something exists, this duality creates the universe.

AI generated web content has got to be one of the most counterproductive things to use AI on.
If I wanted an AI summary of a topic or answer to a question, a chatbot of choice can easily provide that for you. There’s no need for yet another piece of blogspam that isn’t introducing new information into the world. That content is already available inside the AI model. At some point, we’ll get so oversaturated with fake, generated BS that there won’t be enough high quality new information to feed them.
This only means that the web (websites and web 2.0 platforms) for public usage is becoming redundant because any type of data that can be posted on the web can now be generated by an LLM. LLMs have been only around for a short while but the web is already becoming infested with AI spam. Future generations that are not accustomed to the old pre AI web will prefare to use AI rather than the web, LLMs will eventually be able to generate all aspects of the web. The web will remain useful for private communication and general data transfer but not for surfing as we know it today.
Edit to add:
Projects like the Internet Archive will be even more important in the future.
That's so 2001.
Bcrypt was in the default PHP libraries in 2013. It's been available in Python even longer.
This pattern of outsourcing the most basic of application responsibilities is lazy and exposes you to needless fragility and cost burdens.
There are a million and one libraries and frameworks that will handle all of this for you, meeting industry standards, without having to pay to be coupled at the hip to some SaaS vendor that will undoubtedly raise prices on you when they hit growth pains.
You're being rented a partial solution to something that has long been solved. And this - your customer relationship - is such a core function to your business that you shouldn't outsource it.
