AI breakthroughs still need human understanding

On Tuesday, OpenAI published more than 370 mathematical results spanning algebra, theoretical computer science, and mathematical logic. Most came from a single prompt and about three hours of computing time. “If a human did this, it would be an instant Fields Medal, no questions asked,” wrote Alex Kontorovich, a professor of mathematics at Rutgers University.
