It is fully "general", because its training data encompass all human knowledge. It is a matter of scaling, rather than a matter of method. And so it is only as general as the underlying human knowledge.
Not-one-bit-more.
it is obviously able to make advancements outside of human knowledge, like navier stokes
If A -> B and B -> C are within human knowledge, then I don't really consider that A -> C to be outside of human knowledge.
Sure, LLMs are very good at discovering hidden links. But that is about it. And don't get me wrong, it is a very powerful thing. But it is not god reveling the secrets of the universe...
