In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...
ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.
The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.
OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.
