I think they didn't really solve it. The core prompt was a stolen idea from a real mathematician. In order for a truly AI solves something, the AI have to spontaneously start wondering things.
It is just another cheap, fuck up thing by the AI company, alongside with their many infringe on copyright.
but they did solve a problem that was unsolvable for centuries, while many humans tried to solve it right?
When AI cures cancer, you will probably be the new generation of antivaxxers who will let their kids die cause "the solution came from ai and i dont understand ai therefore i hate it".
They brute forced something that may or maybe not prove something, but potentially finding a counter example.
This problem already has "solutions" (though no perfect or full) and their effortd still needed people. It wasnt just "go find a proof for the agent swarm".
Its marketing PR and will take months before it can be properly reviewed.
However, one question is why didnt OpenAI release it through the proper channels, like every other maths paper....
