AI researcher Gerard Sans says OpenAI has repeatedly misrepresented technical details to the public for years, most recently with the Navier-Stokes proof claim that drew major backlash from the mathematics community. He advises treating all OpenAI announcements as marketing — a mix of some technical truth and generous exaggeration — and staying skeptical unless an expert can help separate the two.
