> llms are generally useful to understand more specialized / obscure topics

A very simple kind of query that in my experiences causes problems to many current LLMs is:

"Write {something obscure} in the Wolfram programming language."

One tendency I've noticed is that LLMs struggle with creativity. If you give them a language with extremely powerful and expressive features, they'll often fail to use them to simplify other problems the way a good programmer does. Wolfram is a language essentially designed around that.

I wasn't able to replicate in my own testing though. Do you know if it also fails for "mathematica" code? There's much more text online about that.

My experience concerning using "Mathematica" instead of "Wolfram" in AI tasks is similar.
