here's a paper in their dump that is very similar to what humans uploaded a month ago

same poster goes on to say that the scale of the intellectual fraud is unbelievable

The whole threatening careers thing happened with navier stokes too.

These people are completely rotten to the core.

OpenAI then threatened his career if he tried to tell people what had happened.

and thus ended academic collaborations with OpenAI.

it might not even be the last step in a way. A person may have it solved but worries about publishing until they check and double check and run it down a few times to be sure and then of course there is the writing. So really it might just be acting as a technical writer for the researcher at best.

All it did was steal human work and rush publication

Ok, but literally all it does is steal human work and provide an output.

I wonder how the mathematician expected it to go. Was he expecting to be directly provided the AI output so he could publish it? Was he going to care if the AI used a novel approach he hadn't employed and was unable to identify where it got it from? We have seen since the beginning that AI has an attribution problem, so it seems like his actual concern was that HE wasn't credited.

I'm not an AI supporter, but this whole "it did just a small part" complaint is weird to me. I believe I read that most were solved in 3 hours of compute. I'm sure the mathematician wasn't just 3 hours from solving the problem. It did it faster than humans did. Isn't that the point? Does it matter how little the step was if it hadn't been taken yet? It could've taken mathematics years to make that last step. Shouldn't we be excited to see this development? If we're going to have AI, isn't the point that it accelerates problem solving. If AI sped up life saving medical research by years or even just months by doing one last step, would people be having the same reaction?

I've seen the same people complaining about this regularly talk about using AI for coding. Why is it ok that so many companies have put programmers in this position, but all the sudden it's bad for mathematicians?

Solving math proofs with AI is like doing art with AI. Pointless. In fact, it is detrimental to the discipline as a whole, because doing so means people will stop sharing work and insights with each other, which has never been the case before (at least it’s not the norm).

As discussed on MathandAI.org and elsewhere, top mathematicians “disseminate ideas in talks, private discussions and careful writeups, connecting them to the previous ideas of others. These processes invariably take time and are based on human interaction.”

AI is undermining this process, as people naturally become less willing to discuss ideas that can easily be stolen.
