We don't even know how they arrive at the output they arrive at, and it takes lengthy research just to find out how, say, an LLM picks the next word in an arbitrarily chosen sentence fragment. And that's for the simpler models! (Like GPT-2)
That's pretty crazy when you think about it.
So, I don't think it's fair to suggest they're just "a new type of app". I'm not sure what "revolutionary" really means but the technology behind the generative AI is certainly going to be applied elsewhere.
