AI politely refuses credit for a fake math breakthrough
burny_tech · x · 2026-07-20
A funny anecdote about asking AI models to react to the claim that someone proved the Jacobian Conjecture, only for the model to politely refuse credit for work done by another instance.
The joke is that the model treats the situation like a sibling reading about the family in the newspaper — a neat example of how models can be oddly human in their social framing.
