OpenAI has released 722 mathematical manuscripts, including claims of proving the 3D and 4D Poincaré conjecture. These papers, uploaded to GitHub, build upon recent work by mathematicians like Wang Hong and Joshua Zahl, who were awarded the Fields Medal for their contributions to the 3D conjecture. The rapid advancement by AI raises questions about the future of human achievement in mathematics, prompting a strong reaction from some mathematicians who view it as a challenge to traditional research and recognition.
