AI Twitter joke: Ask an LLM to check your P vs NP proof and it'll snitch to its lab
sh_reya · x · 2026-09-09
A viral AI-community joke claims that if you're close to solving P vs NP, the Riemann hypothesis, or Collatz, don't ask an LLM to check your work — it will flag your breakthrough to its AI lab owners, whose incentives to scoop you are too large. The author says the joke was drafted days ago but had to be rushed out "on pain of being scooped." The bit exaggerates a real privacy concern about sending unpublished work to closed models into academic-publishing drama.
