'The model figured it out itself': clash over LLM proving quasi-Riemann hypothesis
Michael_Druggan · x · 2026-10-09
MichaelDruggan tells mathematician juststeveh that no set of copied notes could teach a model to prove the quasi-Riemann hypothesis — the model figured it out itself — and urges skeptics to get over it as models only get smarter. The spat, sparked by claims that LLM training is like ransacking mathematicians' offices, has drawn scholars including Thomas Dietterich into a broader interpolation-vs-creation debate.
