Terence Tao reposted a statement by the Association for Human Mathematics on OpenAI's October 6 release of 700+ manuscripts purporting to solve high-profile math problems. The AHM, noting OpenAI is defending plagiarism and copyright lawsuits, argues the release ignores the advisory group's own stance against testing advanced math on internal models, calls it "a demonstration of power, not scholarship," and urges mathematicians to stop working with OpenAI and treat the publication model with skepticism.
