Terence Tao using ChatGPT to study a Jacobian conjecture counterexample becomes a meme-worthy AI moment
The post contrasts the usual “don’t use ChatGPT to learn math” reaction with a screenshot of Terence Tao trying to understand a Jacobian conjecture counterexample through ChatGPT.
The point isn’t a technical claim about the model. It’s the image of one of the world’s best mathematicians using ChatGPT as a thinking aid and the fascination people have with reading a small slice of his reasoning process.
That makes this a shareable AI-in-the-wild moment more than a product or research update.
