Critic Argues LLMs Cannot Brute-Force Paper Calculations

In a debate with Noahpinion, a critic argues that LLMs cannot brute-force most paper calculations, citing a 16-dimensional 7th-order Taylor expansion yielding 250,000 terms, and that any computationally limited entity—human, LLM, or alien—must rely on creativity instead.
