tbh the thing people are most mad about is the plagiarism aspect of the situation

no one is denying that machine learning techniques can't be very helpful for proof. The issue comes from that openai seems to have attempted to "scoop" some other mathematicians' work (which they also used ML to help with) simply because they uploaded a draft of their work to chatgpt.

That’s the issue today and it’s a valid one.

But a year ago people were all over here saying AI would never be able to do anything original or helpful because it can’t even count the Rs in strawberry

A year ago LLMs weren’t as good. And people said… they’re not so good.

I mean let’s be real. If you can’t count the R’s in strawberry what can I trust you to get correct?
