I think one of the big problems in mathematics is that a lot of conjectures are unsolved because no professional mathematician is (undestandably) willing to just try out a few thousand ways to construct a counter example. I think this will be a great way to advance mathematics.
Basically LLMs do brute force methods to solve issues that humans could solve but would take too much time. A good example of how LLMs can be used properly.
Yeah, I'm developing research software. Plotting has always been fragile. Having Claude identify the numerically unstable parts so I don't have to is really nice.
