No, it does not. It assumes there will be progress in AI. It does not assume that progress will be in LLMs
It doesn't require AI to be better than humans for AI to take over because unlike a human an AI can be cloned. You have have 2 AIs, then 4, then 8.... then millions. All able to do the same things as humans (the assumption of AGI). Build cars, build computers, build rockets, built space probes, build airplanes, build houses, build power plants, build factories. Build robot factories to create more robots and more power plants and more factories.
PS: Not saying I believe in the doom. But the thought experiment doesn't seem indefensible.
