LLMs are pretty good at slogging through. When will they come up with brilliant breakthroughs like Andrew Wiles?

About two month ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_conjecture

  • We have absolutely no idea if this was a brilliant breakthrough or not. They haven't released any explanation of how it was found. A problem being old and prestigious does not mean its solution is automatically a brilliant breakthrough.

  • That’s just a counter example I can check by hand with almost zero background.

    Wiles’s proof will remain a mystery to me.
