alt Hacker NewsThe open ai math dump was actually what got me off the singularity wagon.
There were mistakes that could easily be seen with a diagram rendering three big results wrong, exposition is terrible, no coherent underlying theory generated from solving so many problems, as Thomas Bloom pointed out even duplicate proofs of the same statement in a single paper.
It clicked for me, "this is slop but slop can be superhuman and useful!". Similar to programming where it can generate as many criticisms of your codebase but you have to weed them out.
If anything, that makes the case that math is fucked even stronger. Nobody had any idea of how to prove quasi-Riemann. OpenAI produced three proofs, one of which was just a lemma in solving another problem. They have a machine that is better than every human being alive at math that solves problems humans cannot even when working inefficiently.
