‘Pure insanity’: Mathematicians will need years to make sense of OpenAI’s latest drop

The mathematical results released by OpenAI this week have provoked strong reactions from over thirty mathematicians, who described them as "unprecedented" and "insane." The results encompass a wide range of discoveries that may take years to fully understand, raising questions about their impact on the field of mathematics. Researchers agree that these findings represent a turning point in how they engage with mathematics. These developments suggest that OpenAI may be on the verge of changing the game in this field, prompting researchers to reevaluate their roles and contributions moving forward.
