    Physicist Angela Collier critiques 'vibe physics', the idea that non-experts or billionaires can make scientific discoveries by chatting with AI chatbots, drawing a parallel with vibe coding.

    HN points to it as a takedown of AI-assisted amateur physics, though a few commenters push back on it.

    1. @southwindcgSep 2025· in “I asked ChatGPT a bunch of questions came up with solution Yang Mills Mass Gap”

      Do you have a background in math and physics, or are you another person who would benefit from watching Angela Collier's vibe physics video? this video

    2. @mattgreenrocksAug 2025· in “GPT-5”

      He doesn’t. I think it’s the same mental phenomena that Gell-Mann Amnesia works off of. That interview is practically radioactive levels of cringe for several reasons. This is an excellent takedown of it: this video

    3. @DaiPlusPlusAug 2026· in “LLMs reward expertise”

      > I have Claude break down high level physics "as if I'm a farmer standing in a field" - works beautifully. Careful now: this video
