A screenshot recently went viral joking that OpenAI proved the existence of nonsofic groups, claiming GPT 5.6 is replacing mathematicians. However, the post was called out as a highly competent fake shitpost.
The critic noted that while every sentence in the screenshot makes sense individually, it suggests no concrete direction to crack the math problem. This type of plausible but ultimately hollow text highlights a new era of AI-generated crackpottery.
