The whole point of this post was that it's questionable what can be achieved without huge investments into oversight and steering, because navier-stokes was a topic with an unusual level of specification. The problem itself was a specification. Such situations are rare in real-world scenarios.

AI agents are good at solving well-specified tasks, not at solving problems. They do well in fields where the cost/effort of specification is already part of the business.
