The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.
A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone ...
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 ...
From writing essays to coding, there’s seemingly nothing modern AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot cannot accomplish. But even though they seem limitless on the surface, they’re certainly ...
The bat-and-ball problem is a famous math puzzle that more than half of people—even Harvard graduates—get wrong. It's ...
