AI Bot Solves Open Math Problems on MathOverflow
latticecut · x · 2026-08-25
A user shares an experiment with an AI bot:
- Task: The bot was asked to go to MathOverflow, pick an open problem, and solve it.
- First Attempt: It found a problem and generated a solution, but it was outside the user's field, making verification impossible.
- Second Attempt: Directed to the user's area (analysis/probability), the bot picked a problem and provided a satisfactory solution.
- Takeaway: Demonstrates the potential of autonomous AI agents in solving complex academic problems.
