OpenAI has claimed to have solved one of the deepest problems in mathematics, which carries a prize fund of $1 million from the Clay Mathematics Institute for whoever is able to solve it.
The problem now is that two human mathematicians (Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge) were recently working on a very similar fluid dynamics breakthrough and had been extensively using AI chatbots like GPT to assist their research.
Moral of the story: If you don't want AI companies stealing your work and ideas for another IPO series funding, then stop sharing them with their chatbots. Now OpenAI gets full credit for work that humans were basically on the very edge of completing.
If AI isn't going to give us all more leisure time and a better standard of living then we don't need it. AI isn't trying to solve human toil and labor. It's trying to solve the problem of paying wages.
I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.
