Mathematicians mock OpenAI's FFT paper: 'No one at OpenAI read it either'

vikhyatk boosts beenwrekt's sardonic take that OpenAI's faster Fourier transform paper is 'less a mathematical breakthrough and more a malicious exploit of mathematical traditions.' A screenshot adds: 'Did I read this paper? Of course not. No one at OpenAI read it either... I fed it back into the slop machine and asked ChatGPT what it thinks of its own output. This is how we do mathematical research now.' The thread sparked a debate on whether releasing AI-generated proofs slows mathematical progress.
