Maybe you can enlighten us. In what way aren't LLMs able to make new contributions.
LLMs in agentic harnesses are Turing complete.
To my best knowledge, we don't know of any greater computational model that the brain is a part of, that LLMs are not.
First of all, the argument isn't that LLMs (with I assume some automation) cannot be used in searching a problem space. I'm assuming this is what you're referring to, in terms of contributions?
That's the part where LLMs are used as tools. Which there are plenty of places where they are useful.
Also, do you know what turning completeness is? Why are you bringing that up here?
The crowd that AI psychosis has brought to HN is interesting. But not in the "I'd love to learn more" kind
Obviously actual intelligence has an ineffable essential aspect, just like unicorn farts do.
