    I'd be curious to see whether these models can create new forms of unbreakable encryption themselves!

      They seem to be better at solving concrete problems than designing new things (at least for now)

        It's easier to evaluate certainly. Did it solve the problem? Yes/No

        When you design a new thing it will have a dozen drawbacks and a dozen and one benefits. If people then have a bias that everything ai is bad, the signal won't be strong enough to convince.
