I think quite a few mathematicians would be interested in using AI to figure out the answer.

But providing the answer in gibberish along with a certificate is not that, it's at best a cruel way to do it, but I'm leaning towards the idea that it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to do math and what it means to communicate a result.

If you think sending an answer in gibberish is acceptable just because it's true then SSdtIG5vdCBzdXJlIHdoYXQgdG8gdGVsbCB5b3UsIGJ1dCB3ZSBkaXNhZ3JlZSBvbiB0aGF0.
