A wildly overconfident Jacobian-conjecture “thinking trace”
doodlestein · x · 2026-07-20
The screenshots show a model producing a very elaborate thinking trace about a supposed counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture.
What makes it funny is the contrast between the model’s confident, self-correcting reasoning and the bizarre premise around it: it treats a highly technical mathematical claim as something it can verify step by step, while also worrying about whether the conversation is genuine and whether the examples are from other systems.
