There are many AI bulls who adamantly disagree and cite Tao’s statements about LLMs for mathematical proofs as an example of how advanced and autonomous these systems already are

I mean just from the above quote it’s clear he doesn’t trust them for “mission-critical” tasks. And I doubt LLms have evolved significantly from their stochastic parrot nature over the last few years

Statistical gradient descent token vomiter. We can all say it together. Nothing about this is advanced or autonomous.

This is like saying humans are a self contained electron transport system, nothing special or advanced about that, just a scaled up nematode.

The same AIs are doing math research now, you know. At what point do you stop explaining it all away?

They never will, because it seems to be a psychological effect among humans via the AI effect (see my sibling comment).
