Probably not something that the average GI Joe would be able to prompt their way to...
I am skeptical until they show the chat log leading up to the conjecture and proof.

The paper has all those prominent institutions who acknowledge the contribution so realistically, why would you be skeptical ?

I'm a big LLM sceptic but that's… moving the goalposts a little too far. How could an average Joe even understand the conjecture enough to write the initial prompt? Or do you mean that experts would give him the prompt to copy-paste, and hope that the proverbial monkey can come up with a Henry V? At the very least posit someone like a grad student in particle physics as the human user.
