Not sure what that had to do with anything but there's nobody alive today in the realm of computer science who is even remotely comparable to Einstein. Einstein deduced extremely unconventional (from a human perspective) physical phenomenon based purely on mathematics and logic and decades later was proven right when the labcoats finally caught up with the chalkboards.

Comparing something like an LLM or a video transcoder or fucking reddit to Einstein is a joke. Turings a better comparison as he was born into a world without computers and was able to describe fundamentally how a computer would think. And turing is also very well known, too.
