What's your basis for assuming LLM is capable of doing this?

I honestly don't know personally either way. Based on my limited understanding of how LLMs work, I don't see them be making the next great song or next great book and based on that reasoning I'm betting that it probably wont be able to do whatever next "Descartes, Newton, Leibnitz, Gauss, Euler, Ramanujan, Galois" are going to do.

Of course AI as a wider field comes up with something more powerful than LLM that would be different.

"I don't see them be making the next great song"

Meanwhile, songs are hitting number one on some charts on Spotify that people think are humans and are actually AI. And Spotify has to start labelling them as such. One AI "band" had an entire album of hits.

Also - music is a subjective. Mathematics isn't.

And in this case, an LLM discovered a new way to reason about a conjecture. I don't know how much proof is needed - since that is literally proof that it can be done.

LLMs are already making the next great songs. Just check out the Billboard charts.
