LLMs are great at tasks that involve written language. If your task does not involve written language, they suck. That's the main limitation. No matter how hard you push, AI is not a 'do everything machine' which is how it's being hyped.

Can "everything" be mapped to a written language task (i.e. described)?

Written language is very powerful apparently. After all LLM can generate SVG, python code to use Blender etc.

One demo i saw with LLM and code use: "Generate a small snake game" and because the author still had the Blender MCP tool connection, the LLM decided to generate 3D assets through Blender for that game.
