Have LLMs Generated Novel Insights?

That's a reasonable suspicion but as a counterpoint there might be more low-hanging fruit in biomedicine than math, precisely because it's harder to test ideas in the former. Without the need for expensive experiments, math has already been driven much deeper than other fields, and therefore requires a deeper understanding to have any hope of making novel progress.

edit: Also, if I recall correctly, the average IQ of mathematicians is higher than biologists, which is consistent with it being harder to make progress in math.

If there were, we would've probably heard about massive shifts in how scientists (and entrepreneurs!) are doing their work.

I have been seeing a bit of this, mostly uses of o1-pro and OpenAI Deep Research in chem/bio/medicine, and mostly via Twitter hype so far. But it might be the start of something.
