Xi Yin just left Harvard for OpenAI.

String theorist. Youngest full professor in Harvard history.

His words: "AI gives me 100x speedup. Weeks of output would take me 10 years."

Then: "I don't believe there's any human intellectual ability AI cannot replicate."

The man who said that is the one who would know.

I believe he is a great physicist, probably even knows how the current AI technology could help physics better than anyone. But that does not make him an expert about the current AI technology, claiming its limit or the lack thereof.
