I think this article represents a pattern of "AI assisted theorizing". Someone (probably like author) has a rough idea or is interested in some topic, but doesn't have clear picture of why something happens or what is actually happening in some system, he messes around with wild ideas and tests it against AI to find some breaking/splitting point of idea space. I think this may actually push us a little further in science and philosophy, because it allows for generating a lot of novel ideas that fall in our human minds blind spots.

I've seen it happen with one of my friends, he's a chemist, but he "generated" a nice idea about matter/anti-matter imbalance, complete with some formulas and a way to experimentally test the idea. I see almost the exact same pattern of thought in this article.

I'm anxiously waiting to see what happens in future with this.
