They asked for a specific example, you've still not provided one, please provide the example.

Why?

1. I didn't say LLMs have made any breakthroughs in math, not because they haven't, but because it's irrelevant to my point. The parent comment is using the same argument academic research opponents have long used against research. The vast majority of research fails to meet their bar. How would your daily life be different if we had no humanities papers published since 2023? Or math?

2. You can google this in 10 seconds and see a dozen results in math. This is not a good-faith demand.

Or you can google and find out that those breakthroughs were not as revolutionary as they are presented.

For the last 60 years, whenever AI achieves something revolutionary, some people immediately say "well that wasn't particulary revolutionary".

Every single time.

It's a tired argument, and we should strive for the intellectual humility to do better in this forum.

Maybe AI isn't that incredible, the more you use it, the more you realize it's a tool, like a VCR, maybe that's why?

What was sold as AI was basically a "computer person". Maybe that isn't the reality so when people are like, "here's the self coding machine" everyone is a bit disappointed because it's not C3PO?
