   Man I remember back when a psychic conned me by solving the Navier-Stokes problem.

      Did an AI do that on its own though? I heard it was human mathematicians using a sophisticated machine as a tool.

         All of the latest big proofs were driven by professional human mathematicians steering and priming the models, yes.

         All of the best AI-made software projects are also driven by experienced human software developers steering and priming the models. Does that mean the projects "aren't made by AI"?

         No, it just means AI is not quite good enough yet to fully replace humans, and, so, unsurprisingly, the best results will be obtained from people who are already great at a field and who take the time to squeeze as much force multiplication out of LLMs as possible. The AI is still doing well over 95% of the significant work.

            Terrence Tao&#x27;s conversation with ChatGPT is very illuminating.
