let’s say you ask it to solve a physics problem. Well, thinking in sort of classic AI style you might think: it should solve the problem by human-like reasoning, by figuring out how this object affects that object in this way, and so on. But that’s kind of medieval. It’s kind of like old-fashioned natural philosophy. But 300 years ago we had Newton and friends, who brought mathematics into natural philosophy. And gave us ways to in a sense use math to blast through to the answer to physics problems, without any human-like reasoning.
