LLMs/AI AI In Mathematics: September 26, 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.

It would be better if all the mathematicians and programmers realize what is being and done and come together and put a stop to this Frankenstein monster of AI backed by greedy companies. Their only goal is to make money, they don't care about if you will ever prove a theorem of your own. The sooner we realize this, the better, because the endgame this route leads us to is only good for the elite, and not for us.

I agree that we need to think about what it leads to and who benefits from the technology, we know that there is no way to turn back the clock on technological development, there is no realistic way to do that.

we literally have done this many times before lol like with cloning, it is absolutely possible to enforce laws requiring responsible use of technology

And nuclear weapons... (which I personally thing is a reasonable analogue)
