Frontier Labs Reportedly Use Mathematicians as 'Human Cover' for AI Results

X user CharlotteHase claims the new marker of being in the in-group of mathematicians is getting contacted by a frontier lab to provide 'human cover' for a result — implying AI generated it first and humans publish it later. She argues this is 'ten times worse' than publishing all results as soon as they're generated, reigniting debate over how labs disclose AI-produced math.
