Some mathematicians call for OpenAI boycott after AI-generated proofs flood their field
Some mathematicians call for OpenAI boycott after AI-generated proofs flood their field
AI summary
The Association for Human Mathematics is calling for an OpenAI boycott after the company released more than 700 AI-generated math manuscripts at once. OpenAI had to retract three papers the next day over a sign error. Fields Medalist Terence Tao warns that AI's mass "harvesting" of open problems leaves entire branches of mathematics less fertile.

- Why it was chosen
- The maths community's reaction to OpenAI releasing more than 700 AI-generated proofs at once shows the tension between academia and labs when AI disrupts basic research.
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.
