Yes, but what will truly advance science is new discoveries that require curiosity and creative thinking, and LLMs are not the technology for this. As impressive as these mathematical results are, all they represent is known mathematical techniques being combined in ways that humans had not explored. The AI is not inventing areas of math, or even creating it's own conjectures. There will be more of these to follow, but eventually the pace will slow as the space of what can be done with known mathematics is explored. What is needed for creativity, for new scientific discovery, is more than an auto-regressive LLM assembling someone else's Lego blocks in novel ways - it will require an AI not just built to predict but one that is also built to expand the frontier of what it knows. Prediction failure that results in curiosity and exploration, not hallucination. We'll get there eventually. |
