I know what LeCun originally said on Twitter and what the copy on the Galactica web page said. But to repeat my question, what is the model useful for? How can it be used to achieve something that bears any resemblance to the original claims?
Afaik the claim was not that "it writes correct papers", but that it compiles knowledge. and to that extent it was accurate, along with the disclaimer that it hallucinates things, because it goes on tangents that are often unrelted
The paper was useful for that reason: as a search engine for underresearched and speculative connections within fields, and from what i saw it does well in that. For example, when brainwashing ideas or looking for other research directions to review. In fact, we already have Perspectives papers being published in journals which are speculative in nature.
I used it to help produce LaTeX code representing chemical structures, which normally would've taken me somewhere around 10 minutes but took me 30s instead.
