NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster sharply criticized OpenAI's Tuesday release of 722 AI-generated math papers, saying it "wiped out entire research programs."
- His exact words: "This recent dump of papers destroyed the careers of early career mathematicians" — a warning that mass-produced AI papers could bury and invalidate years of work by junior researchers.
- The comment, amplified by @Hesamation and others, has become a flashpoint in the debate over AI-generated content flooding academic publishing.
