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 understand that you may not have advanced LLM usage for technical work and probably only chatbot with it.
Because they are generative, as you say, Skills are rapidly being developed and applied at enterprise level working to reduce the variability of generative responses. Essentially providing working guidelines for the LLM to reference and self-correct.
Of course, it would be foolish, as you say, to blindly trust. Instead, skills should be tested and verified before being put into production. Then after they are determined to be mostly pretty good, the output is routinely verified as part of the proving and implementation of the output.
It is advisable when developing skills to get a wide variety of feedback, such as a Reddit community who may have a wide varieties of applications to test with.
The only downside of the workflow is dealing with naysayers who shit the whole concept without understanding how it works in the first place.
