AI “solves” the Jacobian conjecture, as a meme

max_paperclips · x · 2026-07-20

A math meme post joking that AI has “resolved” the Jacobian conjecture.

The image shows a complicated polynomial map, and the quoted thread claims that after some rescaling and manipulation, one can obtain a map with determinant 1 — riffing on a classic line about counterexamples to the Jacobian conjecture. The joke is that AI is being credited with settling a long-running mathematical “mass psychosis.”
