It’s fake. The only thing these people can do is lie.

Oh I’m not saying it’s real, I’m mainly curious about the results without the circle jerk in the math sub. There’s so much vagueness in the announcement it obviously wasn’t a cheap one shot prompt.

Edit: every math result in there, no matter how fake or real, is super important for the field and groundbreaking in the math subreddit which is obviously bullshit.

I've linked this before here, but I guess I can again.

The point made is that the purpose of conjectures is not merely to be solved, but to inspire people to develop and explore new mathematical ideas that lead to solving the conjectures. The new mathematics/mathematicians are the important part, not the yes/no solution to conjectures.

It seems that even many working mathematicians do not really understand this point, and there is of course little understanding among the general public.

That’s a great thread, thank you!

I’d really like to know, how can you be so sure? In what way are the findings fake? You mean it’s much more guided by expert humans than they are saying?

That would be my guess. It costing $2,000 is almost assuredly fake for example.

I’m saying that stochastic parrots can’t do math
