My man, there are more than 100,000 professional mathematicians in the world.

Are they all too busy having brilliant ideas? Doubt.

OpenAI math paper dump should be considered like a hint from 200 IQ eccentric genius - unreliable but perhaps insightful. If it was not "ugh AI" people would be happy about it.



Right. Imagine if some human mathmetician released what OpenAI did with all the caveats and warnings about possible mistakes.

It would be ridiculous for anyone to say "hey man you really shouldn't even have posted these unless you have an ironclad proof".


Humans make mistakes all the time, including in mathematics papers.
