Ask HN: Why can AI solve Navier-Stokes but not write in a human-like way?

It just seems like a much easier problem for AI to solve.

Any ideas?

    The 'solution' of Navier-Stokes was just for a particular set of conditions, not a general solution. If "AI" gives a general solution that's another matter.

    LLMs do write in a human like fashion, it's just the median or average of everything. That's why your CEO is so impressed - it generates better writing than he can.

    Take those two things together, and you've got an answer: it didn't and it does.
