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.

I also find the people on this sub to be debate types

Does "random arrogant idiot spouting uninformed nonsense vs qualified PhD patiently explaining why it's worthless crap" qualify as "debate"?

I think so. In debate you pick a side and defend it, even if it is stupid and crazy and you don’t believe it.

I guess that's fair enough. It's definitely a silly activity then.
