Mathematician laments LLM era may sideline counterexample research

A mathematician reflects on co-authoring a paper that presented a mathematical counterexample, noting that such work might not be accepted in the current era dominated by LLMs. The paper, "Counterexamples to a conjecture of Las Vergnas," was published in the European Journal of Combinatorics in October 2020. AI

IMPACT Suggests that the rise of LLMs may shift academic priorities away from traditional mathematical proofs and counterexamples.

RANK_REASON Opinion piece from a mathematician reflecting on the impact of LLMs on academic research.
