My point is, the AI could not have done what it did without the skilled mathemetician prompting it. It was just a tool in the hands of the human that did it. And that was a very skilled human. Unless you're a professional mathematician, you cannot get the same result even if you use the same AI model. That's the proof that it's the human's work, not the AI.
Why don't you try getting a Millennium Prize then? If you think it was the AI that did it, you have access to the exact same ChatGPT.
- matteoraso 7d agoI don't have access to the exact agent OpenAI used, and I certainly don't have access to the enormous amount of tokens that were used. That being said, I doubt there was some advanced prompting technique going on here. We've seen AI proofs with the prompts attached, and it's pretty basic stuff like "don't give up".
- znnajdla 7d agoI think you're not aware of the specifics of this case. A mathematician worked on the prompts for over a year to get this proof. Look up the details.
- arw0n 7d agoWe don't know what the prompts were though. Terence Tao showed of some of his, and they are indeed huge, with lots of context, things that might work, things he knows don't etc. What we do know about this, is that 10k agents worked together on this. The initial prompt, while probably still very relevant, would get diluted over time. We simply don't know the level of inolvement of humans in reaching this proof.
- znnajdla 7d agoMy point is if you're not a mathematician on the level of Terence Tao you wouldn't have been able to get this result. Thus, AI cannot be credited with the result. Because it's not AI that did it, it's the human that used it as a tool to get the result.
