Fields Medalist says OpenAI's 700+ AI-written math papers "annihilated" a research area

OpenAI's Oct 6 release of 722 manuscripts (719 after three withdrawals), produced by an unreleased internal model, included claimed solutions to 16 problems Hugo Duminil-Copin had worked on for years. OpenAI withdrew those three papers over errors and has pledged funding for verification programs, as mathematicians face thousands of pages to check.
