The author has a PhD in math from Cambridge. If it turns out to be a false claim it is an interesting case study on AI's sycophancy causing even experts to drop their guard and make mistakes.

Who do you mean? The author of the tweet is Levent Alpöge, who does not have a PhD in math from Cambridge... but does have a PhD in math from Princeton. And his advisor was Fields Medalist Manjul Bhargava.

Also, there is no way this counterexample is wrong. You can very easily check it for yourself. (I did, I don't know why, obviously Levent wouldn't be wrong about this, but I guess I was in shock.)
