The "large language model" approach to AI has yielded 
startlingly good results for programmers, but is not so good
for finding out facts . . .

A Google search for harvard mathematician h.s.m. coxeter  yields . . .

Readers able to use Google can easily find out who wrote the above
gestalt  passage. It was not Coxeter.

Further investigation via Google yields the O'Toole  source:

Bing Chat  Continues

Update at 9 PM ET March 17:   A related observation by SHC —

The use  of binary coordinate systems as a conceptual tool

Natural physical  transformations of square or cubical arrays
of actual physical cubes (i.e., building blocks) correspond to
natural algebraic  transformations of vector spaces over GF(2).
This was apparently not previously known.

See "The Thing and I."
