If you are referring to the Jacobian conjecture Claude only provided a counterexample, not a disproof, neither of which is necessarily a “new brilliant scientific idea”.
No, that’s not my argument. Rather it is that a counterexample to a mathematical proof whether produced by human or AI may be a scientific discovery but it is not inherently new and brilliant by definition.
The case for AI is also weakened when the model is steered by an expert.

The whole "AI is a parrot" argument feels like moving the goalposts so quickly, you could actually hear the whooshing sound they make as they move.
