I hope the LLM's will tackle theoretical physics next. If you think the math community is bad in terms of gatekeeping, and it is, the physics community is so much worse. Even community insiders are afraid to share their more unusual ideas at risk of becoming pariah's, outsiders have no chance. And that while they seem more or less stuck in their current track.
Admittedly it's also just really hard to come up with something better than the current track, but doing better has to start with being eager to explore different directions. Even if the new directions don't quite work just yet. And that eagerness just isn't there in the community, new directions are threats to the careers of sensitive people
