Math Memes About Trivial Counterexamples
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-20
This post jokes about the title page of a math paper: even a 10-page paper can pack in numerous "trivial counterexamples," seemingly poking fun at the most frustrating pitfalls when doing math or proofs.
The quote continues with a sharper point: in the coming years, LLMs might struggle to "prove" a major open conjecture, especially when the real obstacle consists of massive amounts of trivial counterexamples that are exceedingly difficult for even humans to exhaustively identify.
