How many attempts have there been for humans to solve math or science outstanding problems? We're also kind of spamming with ideas until one works out

I’ll give you as much time as you want with an LLM and am 100% sure that it won’t solve a single outstanding complex math problem.

I can say the same about myself, and I would probably consider myself generally intelligent.

[vlovich123]

There’s a meaningful difference between a silicon intelligence and an organic one. Every silicon intelligence is closer to an equally smart clone whereas organic ones have much more variance (not to mention different training).

Anyway, my point was that humans butter direct their energy than randomly spamming ideas, at least with the innovation of the scientific method. But an LLM struggles deeply to perform reasoning.

With infinite amount of time you can LLM brute force whole search space. Infinite monkeys with typewriters.
