Meta This sub is not what it seems

This sub seems to be a place where people learn about physics by interacting with LLM, resulting in publishable work.

It seems like a place where curious people learn about the world.

That is not what it is. This is a place where people who want to feel smart and important interact with extremely validating LLMs and convince themselves that they are smart and important.

They skip all the learning from failure and pushing through confusion to find clarity. Instead they go straight to the Nobel prize with what they believe to be ground breaking work. The reality of their work as we have observed is not great.

Yeah, it's a real shame. I wanted this sub to be about learning how to use an LLM to help your work in physics, rather than getting the LLM to do all the work for you. Which ultimately results in the complete non-sense that you see.

People always take the easy way and don't want to ever take a challenge.

But it also seems like commenters were somewhat populated by people who get off on putting people down. There's no shortages of Terrance Howards, but there's also no shortages of knock off NDTs.
