Whether through analogy or an actual underlying isomorphism between the mechanisms underpinning language and other domains, I don’t see a reason LLMs can’t occasionally have insights into non-language problems

Is it better than other methods? No. Is it efficient? Absolutely not.

I don’t work with LLMs but I think a lot of the HN’s users are prematurely skeptical of the potential low-hanging fruit across many domains that can be explored with these new, convenient but invariably suboptimal tools
