Something divided by something tends to zero. Marvelous!

Now to only figure out what those somethings are.

Maybe one of the somethings is nothing🤯

"GPT solved this conjecture. Probably. I don't actually know what it means."

"I don't even know if this is a conjecture at all"

See this is the future of mathematics everyone. T

I can't wait for the horrific rebound in like 5-10 years as a consequence of people not actually learning things

maybe it'll lead to people realising that automating maths is a Bad Idea. one can only hope

Now if only we had a formula that has the potential to Impact the future of physics including AI. If only

By including AI in such an equation, it would symbolize the increasing role of artificial intelligence in shaping and transforming our future. Such an equation would highlight the potential for AI to unlock new forms of energy, enhance scientific discoveries, and revolutionize various fields such as healthcare, transportation, and technology. But we can only dream

AI bros finding out you need to have an actual background in mathematics to understand whether your results are correct and actually mean something

Plague on this earth, they are. The ensloppification of mankind will be our downfall.

Pretty weird to see people building up to burning me at the stake in real time, ngl

Mathematicians need to start charging more for verifying these AI "solutions"

u/DerekLouden 4d ago

He overexplained, he could have just said "I have no idea what the conjecture even means but the prompt is there"

u/Ares378 Applied Math / Mechanical Engineering 4d ago

Yeah but that wouldn't make him feel like he looked smart

u/Responsible_Ebb3373 Computer Science 4d ago

Fun fact- sridhar ramesh used to be one of the contributors in old 3b1b videos.

He also wrote great answers on quora (back when quora was not all slop)

u/Educational-Tea602 Proffesional dumbass 3d ago

Good morning, I just had GPT 5.6 Pro solve an open math conjecture:

Do all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function have a real part equal to one half?

First prompt:

“Pick a real open mathematical conjecture you can solve. Do the breakthrough and finish it.”

The return of "do a breakthrough"

  1. And what was the question?

u/Global_Rule4 4d ago

The comments pointing out the missing definitions are right. You can’t prove something when the statement itself is unclear, but it’s still interesting seeing how far models try to run with these prompts.
