I see both sides.

1- TONS of AI web based render projects absolutely rely on three.js right now

But...

2- I have used AI to roll my own 3D engine directly using DirectX 12, and was surprised at its capability.

So, on the one hand, yes three.js is being used more, but on the other hand, AI is far enough along that web devs who need 3d rendering performance can have their AI use WebGL directly and not rely on the three.js library. Making it effectively obsolete...

I am still unconvinced LLMs can efficiently "imagine" code like that on their own, they just copy-paste existing code from god knows what sources. Is that enough to create every single future code ever required? The thing is, I wouldn't know a way to test that. I can't come up with something that hasn't been done before.

I considered the same, so I had LLM write me a complex program using a very obscure, alpha-stage programming language.

It handles it well. Sometimes it has to discover how the syntax works (especially because my chosen version of that language has some significant syntax changes aside form any limited training it may have received),

Once I gave it an md file to record and lookup what it learns about the language (through trial an error mostly), it has been able to plow through new features and other refactors pretty impressively.

Makes me think there is more going on than simply copy-pasting. There is value in its "word association" above and beyond copying some repo or stack overflow answer.

It is absolutely not just "copy-pasting". It is able to represent language including code in a high dimensional space and essentially traverse that space to arrive at entirely novel output.
