Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

But just by systematic enumeration the computer was able to find what seemed to me like a very “creative” result. and something like an LLM could “creatively” come up with these names. Once again, I had no idea this was “out there”, and certainly I would never have been able to construct it myself. So might AI change that?
