If you do a dump like this all of it should be formalized, there's simply too much material to review by hand and additionally it is AI-written which makes it hard to read compared to human work.

Not a mathematician but surely if a problem I was working on had an AI also working on it, I would want to know as early as possible - even with flaws or gaps. What advantage is it to me to be less informed?

Apparently the write-ups are garbage (as in very hard to read). I feel like they could've had AI fix that up at least somewhat. Maybe they'll reinvest more in writing ability now.

The whole modus operandi for LLMs at this point is to produce a flood of material and then hope someone else will have to do the hard work of verifying it while you gloat about your productivity.

Almost like they care less about the maths and more about a deadline for marketing purposes.

My man, there are more than 100,000 professional mathematicians in the world.

Are they all too busy having brilliant ideas? Doubt.

OpenAI math paper dump should be considered like a hint from 200 IQ eccentric genius - unreliable but perhaps insightful. If it was not "ugh AI" people would be happy about it.
