OpenAI Fought Dirty on Career-Making Math Problem, Says NYU Mathematician
jonbaer · hn · 2026-09-09
A NYU mathematician publicly accuses OpenAI of fighting dirty over a career-making math problem, per TechCrunch. The dispute centers on attribution and integrity when LLMs contribute to major proofs: what the model actually contributed, who deserves credit, and whether the process is transparent. Some in the math community now argue that major proofs should include LLM chat transcripts as supplementary material for proper attribution.
