LLMs are like Trump government appointees:

  • They hallucinate like they're on drugs
  • They repeat whatever they've seen on the internet
  • They are easily maniuplated
  • They have never thought about a single thing in their lives

Ergo, they cannot and will not ever discover anything new.

LLMs have already discovered new proofs for math problems that were previously unsolved. Granted, this hasn't been done with a commercially available model as far a I know, but you are technically wrong to say they will never discover anything new.
