Well this statement is simply not true. Agent systems based on LLMs have made original discoveries on their own, see the work Deep Mind has done on pharmaceutical discovery.

What results have they delivered?
I recall the recent DeepMind material science paper debacle. "Throw everything against the wall and hope something sticks (and that nobody bothers to check the rest)" is not a great strategy.
I also think that Dwarkesh was referring to LLMs specifically. Much of what DeepMind is doing is somewhat different.
