Anyone had good luck using llms in a more advanced context?
I’ve tried simple things such as ‘explain general number field sieve giving simple numerical examples’ and had spectacular failures. The numerical examples give a few superficial runs of the sieve with a small number and then ‘well that didn’t work but imagine if it did…’. As in it can’t give functional numerical examples of well established theory. You can come up with examples yourself in 5mins of work. I can’t imagine it being at all useful in an even more advanced context.
