LLM rewrites a physics paper into a clearer 12-page explainer — correctness unverified
thomasahle · x · 2026-10-27
User @BooleanAnalysis shared an experiment of extensively discussing a paper with an LLM:
- After a long back-and-forth discussion, the model rewrote the result into a new version
- The output is 12 pages and claims to explain the main ideas more clearly; it uses some quantum computing language
- The author explicitly disclaims any idea whether it's correct — shared purely as a readability experiment
- Circulated among physicists around @rrwilliams; retweeted by Thomas Ahle
