A mathematician has refuted OpenAI's claim that its new AI model proved the Connes rigidity conjecture. The mathematician, J. L. Nielsen from the University of Kansas, found that the AI's proof, consisting of 37,000 lines of Lean 4 code, contained flaws. Specifically, Nielsen identified that one of the groups used in the AI's construction did not meet the necessary conditions for the conjecture. This incident highlights the critical need for human oversight in verifying AI-generated scientific results, as formal verification tools like Lean only check the logical structure of proofs, not their semantic accuracy or relevance to the original problem.
