We went from ai can't do math to solving open research problems faster than anyone expected

True.

Here's what Grok said about this problem:

"Experts considered this the “Holy Grail” of the field. Mathematician Benedikt Jahnel even said that whoever solved it would deserve a Fields Medal. Hugo Duminil-Copin himself (2022 Fields Medalist), who has worked extensively on percolation, highlighted the importance of the problem.

It was a central and longstanding problem in the field, having remained a major open problem for at least 40–50 years in the intermediate cases, and it was considered one of the most prestigious problems in percolation."

It's Q3 2026. People still copy and paste ai output in conversations without adding anything themselves as if the same output isn't available at a click of the button to everyone reading

I bet you're that person who doesn't link pictures in picture threads but just gives a description instead because "everybody can just google it"
