@DrewKadel @dataKnightmare@octodon.social More like they have done their reading... But don't have time to reason properly and systematically and are forced to BS their way through a seminar.
The quality of answers improves significantly when you give them that time ("lets think step by step" etc.).
Given more compute LLMs would be able to do Fermi Estimates on par with the dude himself, if not better. There's nothing putting a hard limit on that, since even the humans are able to do it when motivated.
And with plugins like Wolfram they could build a proper model and perform exact calculations on it.
