A model-proof debate hinges on what is easy to verify, not just answer correctly
burny_tech · x · 2026-07-22
A reply in an AI reasoning discussion says the key difference between two tasks is not the final answer, but how hard the argument is to verify.
- The speaker thinks the “unit distance” problem was more fiddly and required more creativity.
- By contrast, the polynomial/Jacobian argument was easy to validate because a reader can simply write down the polynomials and compute the Jacobian.
- The point is that some problems are easier for both humans and models to check as correct, while others demand a deeper proof check.
