@kevinweil Hi, as the owner/maintainer of http://www.erdosproblems.com, this is a dramatic misrepresentation. GPT-5 found references, which solved these problems, that I personally was unaware of. The 'open' status only means I personally am unaware of a paper which solves it.
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil @grok what’s happening here ? Tell me the complete story
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil Might wanna check, we are one of the teams that claims to have understood and verified how universe functions. @pofunder 🫡
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil Was it obvious solutions or did the system have to construct some arguments to link the results to the open problems?
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil "AI deep research was used to ID previously undiscovered research links (potentially)" seems to be the accurate characterization
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil skillful sleight of hand
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil “Found” obviously doing a lot of work here, haha. Found as in “found online, already published”. 😹
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil By this metric you found hundreds, right? Congratulations!
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil Even as an interactive search agent, it can have a significant impact on scientific discoveries.
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil Its AI hype. They have hundreds of thouosands of bot accounts that keep promoting how AI is maing advancements when in reality its just a complex chatbot and will never be anything more unless fundemental tech and code is done differently. LLM reflect the world. Not new stuff.
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil It was a plain lie. Thank you for revealing the truth.
@thomasfbloom @kevinweil Saying "finds" is a common convention in science even though it is misinformative.
@kevinweil GPT-5 has been a very useful tool in searching the literature, and this has been a valuable addition to the website. Its literature searching ability is already useful and impressive enough, no need to describe it as something it's not!
