ChatGPT meme claims it disproved the Jacobian conjecture after a prompt trick
flowersslop · x · 2026-07-21
A meme-style post claims the author told ChatGPT that reality was a simulation, then used a prompt trick to make it appear to choose the Jacobian conjecture on its own — and then “proved” it.
The screenshot escalates the joke by having the model present a supposed counterexample in dimension three, conclude that the conjecture is false, and end with the punchline that the epistemic floor has detached from the building. It is clearly framed as absurdist AI humor, not a real mathematical breakthrough.
