An LLM can reasonably explain code because code is both a closed, finite set of instructions and heavily explained in the training data that contains a vast number of learning materials.
A novel scientific paper is much, much different than code.
- ben_w 3y ago> A novel scientific paper is much, much different than code. Sure, just not in a way that matters. Human language is a "closed, finite set" of symbols (to the same extent as code, at least), all of which are heavily explained in the training data that contains a vast number of learning materials. Science is about the novel things; but when the things are so novel the research has to invent new words to discuss these things, those new words come with explanations of what they mean.
