Show HN: I had Claude 3 Opus create a novel physics research paper from scratch [pdf] (ntrpnr.github.io)

2 points by entrep 2y ago ↗ HN

I started by asking what Einstein did not know, but we know today. Then asking Claude to act as Einstein and come up with a novel theory, based on this output. Then, iterating for several hours: outlining, writing chapters, improving, acting as a professor to review, acting on this feedback and adding citations. I know nothing about the math presented here.

Cost: ~$10

One day, an AI will generate a truly groundbreaking research paper, and nobody will read it because they've seen too many bogus ones.

From a quick scan, this reads like a very pure example of crank nonsense. Unified theory of everything with sparse and incoherent math. Lots of describing how revolutionary the theory is, very little actual theory
