Indeed, the solutions in search of a problem are teeming in the day and age of LLMs! I think the opposite framing is quite interesting aswell "solutions in search of a problem" -> "problem in search of a solution" as in solution are not always self evident and what might work for one might not work for someone else, striking the right balance takes time. And to me this article highlight this, they are academics that are well aware of problem at hand, but still, they can't easily formulate a solution to it.
