Humans built the tool which enabled the result. AI used the tooling for eliminating the dead ends. Yes, I can appreciate the practical value of all this, but IMHO it is not a kind of breakthrough result the article gives impression of.
A literal rock we carved patterns on and shot lightning into has accomplished something no human has.
How much more magical do you want this to be?
Tool or not it did something you could never have accomplished.
"you could never have accomplished"; I am not able to follow the logic here - there is no "magic" in LLMs, they're built by humans and we know what they do.
Sure? I mean the internet is just a bunch of wires and some networking code not magic but at the same completely life alteringly magical.
My logic is that you personally could never have accomplished this feat with all the non LLM tools and content in the world. These kinds of things imply these methods are stepping beyond human ability.
Sure we put walls around it and optimize but the interior of that optimization is not something we understand.
You now have access to a system that for a price could solve something you simply are unable to solve. Not something we programmed it to solve, something that has never been solved before.
Nobody gave it an example of this proof, that's magical.
We don't know what they do. We shape them, but our understanding of how they get to their result is comparatively minimal.
