At this point, how can we tell whether AI is improving or it's just reappropriating its users work? It's probably a bit of both. But still, thick milky.
Buckmaster (the mathematician) and Alpöge used and credit AI substantially for their proof. Even if OpenAI did copy their ideas, it still wouldn't show that this didn't come from AI improving.
OpenAI's proof is substantially different and I don't think anyone has claimed otherwise. The accusation is that they used the same avenue of attack, and it's an uncommon one, and that makes it suspicious that they may have taken the idea.
