ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.
The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why it matters.
In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...
OpenAI's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to ...
The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.
