   If the problem was solved by anyone before or if a similar problem has been solved, then LLMs seem to be able to solve them which is an astonishing piece of technology.

   I'm personally not sure if it can come with original thinking and techniques to solve completely novel problems. For that, some imagination and thinking outside the box are required, and I doubt the current architecture can do any of this.

      What's an example of a completely novel problem?

            I think you mean general relativity, connecting quantum mechanics with special relativity is just QFT

            That is solved <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dirac_equation" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dirac_equation

            All the news from the CERN including the Higgs boson include under the hood those transformation or a slightly more modern variant.

            The hard part is mixing General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
