Mathematicians clash over whether AI labs should direct digestion of model proofs
burny_tech · x · 2026-10-01
- A circulating recommendation says human understanding must stay "organic and community led," not directed by AI labs.
- minilek argues this implies labs shouldn't even hire professional mathematicians to clean up poorly-written model proofs — contrary to feedback that dumped low-quality outputs harm the field.
- He cites Dan Spielman's blog: labs should instead invite interested experts to write good solutions for important problems.
