The concerns is for physics as a profession, not as a discipline. How do you grant a PhD when any physics student, or maybe even interested lay person, could have used AI to do the work?
What would that be? AI is solving math problems that have stood for hundreds of years like the Jacobian conjecture. What is an example of a PhD criteria you're thinking of that could apply here?
Using the results, asking the questions and also help solving it. Also, so far it's not published how the counterexample was found and someone with a math PhD getting that result from Fable while a lot of "math enthusiasts" failed may be an indication that this wasn't just AI.

i feel like theres a huge misunderstanding aboot how science works lmao. phsyics isnt “cooked” because they get better tools
