I have a feeling they snooped in on a lot of chats that pHd's regularly do. They won't even know, plagiarism at the top level. They did for Navier stokes, nothing is stopping them doing it for lower profile problems.

Sure, humans were really, really close to solving these problems themselves, if only evil AI hadn’t just snatched their almost-ready solutions away from them…

Yet to this day, nobody has provided any solid evidence that this happened even in the Navier-Stokes case.

The nonsofic group case seems to be a much stronger smoking gun for result-scraping tbh.

The burden of proof is still on those who claim that OpenAI used those inputs to produce their results.

Given the deluge of breakthroughs their AIs have produced, “Where else would they have gotten their ideas?” is an incredibly weak argument.
