LLMs should be good at generating possible multi-disciplinary insights.

  • LLMs should be good at generating possible multi-disciplinary insights.
    • LLMs are worse than domain experts, but better than most everyone else nowadays.
    • But if you take a cross-domain insight, that requires expertise in two distinct domains, an LLM is likely better than any existing human.[aow]
      • The number of combinations of domains is a combinatorial explosion[aox]; there must be some sparsity to the coverage of real experts who have precisely that overlapping expertise.
    • LLMs are thus great tools for helping discover possible cross-domain insights.
    • It's not possible to use LLMs to create an insight in a domain that would be convincing and novel to a human expert in that domain.
    • But in cross-domain cases there likely isn't a human expert.
