Noah Smith had an interesting idea related to this in a recent newsletter: https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/what-will-more-intelligence-actually https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/what-will-more-intelligence-ac... > Another way of saying this is that there may be laws of the universe that humans can’t understand but AI can. I call these “cloud laws” — causal regularities that can be exploited by technology, but which are too diffuse and complex for an individual human being to either intuit or communicate. Human language seems to obey cloud laws, so why not other phenomena too? Perhaps social sciences like economics, sociology, and political science obey similarly complex regularities, and AI can help us find them. Perhaps there are physical processes — plasma, or topological materials, or aerial turbulence, etc. — that obey cloud laws instead of chaos?
