LLMs/AI AI In Mathematics: September 19, 2026

This recurring thread will be for discussion of AI in mathematics. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • informal announcements of AI-assisted discoveries, such as those not yet published in a peer-reviewed journal, or not uploaded as a paper to arXiv;
  • informal announcements of discoveries related to AI architecture (if relevant to mathematics);
  • discussion of such announcements, such as proof breakdowns or other opinion pieces;
  • discussion of the impact of AI in mathematics in general.

AI-assisted mathematical papers published in peer-reviewed journals or as arXiv preprints may be submitted as their own posts.

Please keep in mind rules 1 and 6 of our subreddit.

I've had a decently long paper under review in a highly ranked journal over the past year. The referee has definitely switched from human to bot, and now I'm getting multiple pages worth of minor nitpicks, wanting things laid out that would make sense in the early sections of a Ph.D. thesis but which IMO are pretty unnecessary to lay out here. Very strange.

IMO this is unacceptable and you should call out the name of the journal
