It never ceases to amaze me what you can do with these transformer models. They created millions of potential solutions for each problem, used the provided examples for the problems to filter out 99% of incorrect solutions and then applied some more heuristics and the 10 available submissions to try to find a solution.

All these approaches just seem like brute-force approaches: Let's just throw our transformer on this problem and see if we can get anything useful out of this.

Whatever it is, you can't deny that these unsupervised models learn some semantic representations, but we have no clue at all what that actually is and how these model learn that. But I'm also very sceptical that you can actually get anywhere close to human (expert) capability in any sufficiently complex domain by using this approach.
