Comment Yep, "marketing tactic" it is. (Score 5, Insightful) 130

Assholes like Musk will never be willing to pay more taxes for something like this. People like him can never get enough. Hence he and others try to keep people quiet with "you will be cared for" until it becomes impossible to hide that this is a lie, but it will be too late to really do anything.

Not true at all. LLM-type AI is fare more limited as even the dumbest fuck. The only thing it has is a stellar knowledge base. But actually doing things? Not so good. And understanding things? Zilch.

All the people fawning over LLMs do not really understand them or what they can do. Essentially it is somewhat better search with an NLP interface. Nice, but not a game-changer.

Good point. Obviously, a counter example is very simple in "proof structure", especially as it does not need to tell you anything about what an optimal result would look like.

I guess Mathematicians will continue to have good job opportunities after all.

As to what that LLM does, there are a lot of non-statistical tools it could be using. Obviously, if they tell us, say, "the LLM handed 100'000 possible counterexamples to Wolfram Alpha and Wolfram Alpha picked the single one that was not nonsense", that kind of would destroy the picture they are trying to paint of their product. On a related topic, I am beginning to suspect that Claude Mythic may be running very conventional tools to help it find bugs in code.
