People talk about how LLMs need "more data" but data is really sort of a blunt instrument to try and impart the LLM a lot of experience. Unfortunately data isn't actually experience, it's a record of an experience.
Now what we've seen with e.g. Chess and Go, is that when you can give a tensor model "real experience" at the speed of however many GPUs you have, the model is quickly capable of superhuman performance. Automatic theorem proving means you can give the model "real experience" without armies of humans writing down proofs, you can generate and validate proofs as fast as a computer will let you and the LLM has "real experience" with every new proof it generates along with an objective cost function, was the proof correct?
Now, this might not let us give the LLMs real experience with being a teacher or dealing with Marxist revolutionaries, but it would be a sea change in the ability of LLMs to do math, and it probably would let us give LLMs real experience in writing software.
