There's a bit of a flaw in the "don't need graphs and UIs to look at your data" premise behind this article: sure, LLMs will be great ... when the work great. When they fail, you need a human there to figure it out and they will still need the graphs.
Furthermore, while graphing and visualization are definitely tough, complex parts about observability, gathering the data and storing it in forms to meet the complex query demands are really difficult as well.
Observability will "go away" once AI is capable of nearly flawlessly determining everything out itself, and then AI will be capable of nearly anything, so the "end of observability" is the end of our culture as we know it (probably not extinction, but more like culture will shift profoundly, and probably painfully).
AI will definitely change observability, and that's cool. It already is, but has a long way to go.
