Tell me a problem that an LLM can solve that is not directly represented in the training set or algorithm. I would argue that 99% of what commercial LLMs gets prompted about are stuff that already existed in the training set. And they still hallucinate half lies about those. When your training data is most the internet, it is hard to find problems that you haven't encountered before
- esafak 2y agoo3 solved a quarter of the challenging novel problems on the FrontierMath benchmark, a set of problems "often requiring multiple hours of effort from expert mathematicians to solve".
- K0balt 2y agoI’m having a hard time taking this comment seriously, since solving novel problems is precisely what LLMs are valuable for. Sure, most problems are in some way similar in pattern to some other, known one, but that describes 99.9 percent of what 99.9 percent of people do. De novo conceptual synthesis is vanishingly rare and I’m not even sure it exists at all.
