OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.
An 80-year-old challenge in geometry has been cracked by an AI chatbot after a single prompt from mathematicians. Other mathematicians called the solution “incredible” and “the first result produced autonomously by an AI that I find interesting in itself”: doi.org/10.1038/d415...…

Umělá inteligence právě vyřešila osmdesát let starý matematický problém Hlavolam, který vymyslel legendární matematik Paul Erdős a který byl považován za prakticky neřešitelný, právě vyřešila umělá inteligence vyvinutá společností OpenAI. Jedná se o průlom, který již řada vědců o…
