When you say "a general result", what does that mean? In my world, a general result is something which is rigorously proved, e.g., the fundamental theorem of algebra. But this seems to be more along the lines of "we have lots of examples of this happening".

I'm certainly no expert, but it seems to me that Wolfram Alpha provides a counterexample to some extent, since they claim to fuse expert knowledge and "AI" (not sure what that means exactly). Wolfram Alpha certainly seems to do much better at solving math problems than an LLM.



As someone else pointed out I've used that term wrong. Rule of thumb/observation you might better say.
