Mathematicians Claim Significant Discovery Using ChatGPT

A 23-year-old used ChatGPT to help propose a solution to a long-unsolved Erdős problem.

Top mathematicians, including Terence Tao, say the approach looks novel and plausibly correct.

The AI-generated proof still needed expert editing, so the result requires careful verification.

If confirmed, it would show LLMs can help produce genuinely new mathematical ideas, not just summarize old ones.
