Computers can already do a lot of things that no human can though. They can reliably find the best chess or go move better than a human.

It's conceivable (though not likely) that given training enough training in symbolic mathematics and some experimental data, an LLM-style AI could figure out a neat reconciliation of the two theories. I wouldn't say that makes it AGI though. You could achieve that unification with an AI that was limted to mathematics rather than being something that can function in many domains like a human can.

Wouldn't this unification need to be backed by empirical data? Let's say the AI discovers the two theories can be unified using let's say some configuration 8 spatial dimensions and 2 time dimensions. Neat trick, but how do we know the world actually has those dimensions?

Do we even have any other theory that does that already ? It seems that even finding one would be a great achievement
