Math Conjecture Proven Three Times in One Week Using ChatGPT

X · 1 week ago · 38

Three mathematicians independently proved a 40-year-old conjecture within one week, each using ChatGPT to guide their work. The conjecture, which had eluded proof for four decades, was solved by separate teams who relied on the AI's assistance but arrived at the result simultaneously. The overlapping discoveries raise questions about attribution and whether contributions from AI systems should affect how mathematical breakthroughs are credited.
