Current headline:

"An amateur just solved a 60-year-old math problem—by asking AI"

A more honest title would be:

"An AI just solved a 60-year-old math problem—after being asked by amateur"

(Imagine the headline claimed instead that a professor just solved a math problem by asking a grad student.)

Previous problems solved by AI had some amount of expert guidance/steering. Here, I guess the emphasis is that there was none of that.
