The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why it matters.
ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.
In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...
