That's what they mean by LLM's can't jump. They mean it can't make a creative jump. Their example is Einstein's Theory of Relativity - It's not a random jump.
- TeMPOraL 2mo agoEinstein didn't magically one day woke up and jump on relativity theory. He had prerequisites in terms of recent mathematical advancements (notation) and physical discoveries, and a job exposing him to a lot of lateral thinking, and time to bounce ideas around in his head. We don't know how many fruitless jumps he made before making one that we remember him for.
