   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?

         Anything that an ai can do is not novel /s

            this appears to be where the goalposts are being moved to, indeed.

               just because humans couldn't solve does not mean the necessary technique were not already discovered...we have agents that don't get tired and has access to all humanity knowledge, the building blocks could be there already..

               this is not moving the goalposts, this is try to understand what this tech truly able and not able to do.
