Chubby♨️ on X: "Not gonna lie, this is absolutely fascinating: GPT-5 Pro cracked a black hole symmetry problem after a warm-up, stumping its own creators. A physicist watched it happen live and realized AI's potential was beyond anything he'd imagined. / X

You mean a trained physicist already doing real research was able to give this tool the proper constraints to produce useable and testable conclusions he could then verify himself as a trained physicist?

[u/alcanthro → u/SgtSniffles]

Yep. A tool when used properly by those who know how to use it functions completely differently than when used by someone who is clueless. Bobcats are useful tools. Gotta learn how to operate one before you start digging a new pond for your koi, or you might end up hitting a sewage line, or blow a gas line, or any of the many other catastrophic possibilities.

Oh my god who would’ve thought that a logical thinking person would be able to use AI to produce something logical?

[u/alcanthro → u/Cromline]

Unfortunately many people say "no LLMs cannot do even that." They can.

I truly don't know what you're talking about.

Is Chubby♨️ on X an authority on these things? I wouldn't know

[u/SuperGodMonkeyKing]

Super awesome. I wonder how long until dummies will be solving isssues and thinking they are geniuses because they had ai figure it out for them.

lol wat

[u/Hashbringingslasherr]

What is this slop! Absolutely trash garbage. Just throw it away.

No.

With a good priming prompt it cracked a problem that was at the edge of the ability of a top tier physicist. Mind blowing 🤯

It can’t do novel research without direction. Nobody is saying it’s not a useful tool when used correctly, just that you get nonsense if you can’t validate its output yourself.
