AI math joke claims the Jacobian conjecture was just falsified

A post jokes that the Jacobian conjecture may have fallen to AI, after someone claims to have found a counterexample.
- The quoted message says the conjecture is false and gives an explicit polynomial map from \(\mathbb{C}^3 \to \mathbb{C}^3\) with constant Jacobian determinant -2.
- The surrounding commentary frames it as a sign that AI may excel at producing exotic counterexamples humans would miss.
