Mathematician Andrew Snowden's new preprint used ChatGPT for many arguments
littmath · x · 2026-09-08
Andrew Snowden's 56-page preprint 'Measures on partial orders' (arXiv:2609.02021) characterizes the measure space on the Fraïssé class of posets as a union of a plane, eight lines, and 15 isolated points — the first non-equidimensional case. The abstract states ChatGPT was used to obtain many arguments while all writing was done by the author. Collaborator Noah Snyder praised its detailed AI-use statement (Section 1.4) as a model for academia.
