Yeah...I know I should be massively impressed, and I am to a degree, but isn't this what we should expect? LLMs can pick up on patterns that no human can see. In that sense, they really are a type of "search engine", but I use that term loosely. Tao is using them as a way to sift and sort theories and information that the model has a plethora of training data on. It's like being able to converse with the codex of humanity, and extract data via an algorithm that is highly adept at sorting through it.
