‘Pure insanity’: Mathematicians will need years to make sense of OpenAI’s latest drop

This seems to be the mathematical equivalent of using AI to submit 200 unverified pull requests to an open source project and then telling the maintainers it’s their job to figure it all out.
The one mathematician saying he’s not going to spend hours of his time to verify if a slop report is true, let alone do it for dozens of reports, reminds me of all those projects making rules that unverified AI pull requests will be trashed.

I mean, this is a step worse actually. We’ve already seen mathematicians claiming that these systems have actively scooped them. Lots of academics are using these systems regularly.
At this point, every time I see a paper being “published” by an AI company, I’m wondering who they stole the result from.
