OpenAI has tripled down on its open conflict with the academic world of mathematicians. A month ago OpenAI caused a kerfuffle by solving a Millennium Prize math problem for the Navier-Stokes existence. That itself was controversial — and provoked blowback from mathematicians.
Well, instead of refraining from further uses of its AI to solve longstanding math problems, OpenAI published 722 math papers and posted them on Github.
That was a slap in the face to many mathematicians. The Association for Human Mathematics (AHM) published a critical response to OpenAI:
Releasing over 700 files at once is not a demonstration of scholarship, but a demonstration of power. We urge mathematicians to discontinue their work with OpenAI and to return to a vision of science that centers human understanding.
