ChatGPT Aids Algebraic Topology Research, Reviving Niche Fields
AlexKontorovich · x · 2026-08-10
A mathematician shared their experience using ChatGPT to help write a paper in algebraic topology. The specific subfield they are researching with a Japanese collaborator was popular in the 1990s, but most experts have since passed away or moved on to other areas. In this context of a generational gap in expertise, the LLM has become a valuable tool to help bridge the academic gap and advance their research.
