AI summary
OpenAI published more than 700 AI-generated manuscripts claiming solutions to open math problems. A math blog then collected over 100 responses from researchers, ranging from fascination with new ideas to existential fears and grief over a lost way of working. Fields Medalist Hugo Duminil-Copin wrote, "I am paralysed."

- Why it was chosen
- Gathers first-hand reactions from over 100 mathematicians, showing the shock and division caused across the academic community by OpenAI's release of more than 700 papers at once.
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
