Fields Medalist and UC Berkeley mathematician Richard Borcherds commented on the controversy over OpenAI's Navier-Stokes proof: "I think what people are getting upset about is they're slowly realizing that they are dumb and somehow blaming this on AI, even though it's not really AI's fault."
The quote comes from a Daily Cal feature on how the Berkeley math community is navigating the aftermath of the OpenAI proof announcement.
