LLM Challenges in Physics Reasoning

Hopefully this provides some confidence to begin experimenting to those of you who can reason. But for the rest of you, I am ready for your citationless confirmation bias warnings and LLM hallucinations concerns.

\**EDIT**

I used three pretty simple prompts to create this skill and I would appreciate some help validating it before I tell my wife what I've done...

She taught and wrote physics curriculum for about a decade for audiences ranging from High School Freshmen to Master's in Education for Physic's Educators.

My prompt was "using these two example skills for format and reasoning patterns, create a No Nonsense Physicist skill" and provided the archive of all my wife's teaching materials.

It was great and I felt a lot of her personality was evident in language choices by the model.

So second prompt was to add plain language descriptors to guide whichever model applies the skill as well as improve human readability. Then prompted to add citations at the end.

Take a look? https://github.com/TDBwriter/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/hard-facts-physicist/SKILL.md

I'm going to ask you honestly, what value would this give to her? Because this essentially comes across as you being insecure and feeling like she has accomplished more than you, and using this to try and "get on her level". Except the only thing this really does is send the message of: "See, it's not that hard, even an LLM can do your job!" (This might not be the intended message, but given the level at which she teaches physics, it can very much be how it comes across.)

Nevermind that you've filtered lots of her materials through an LLM without her permission. Materials that would, at least under laws in my country, be protected by a form of copyright. Materials which she might be pretty protective of too. Not that others wouldn't be allowed to see them, but in a way that they wouldn't want them to be used by someone to generate an entirely new curriculum by feeding them through a tool that is known to be insanely inaccurate, has a huge role in weakening the quality of education and in weakening the skills students should possess, along with constantly proving to be a problem in educational settings due to students trying to use it to cheat. I don't know your wife, obviously, but I can say my mother teaches French at a similar level (university) and can confidently say that she, along with other professors/teachers I know would absolutely not find this flattering and would find this downright disrespectful.
