  >Let mathematicians do the AI-supported research on their own incentive at their own pace?
After they release a model, it only takes a handful of scrappy young math grads (incentivized to publish high-impact papers) to independently put in those exact same prompts, and more. The tsunami remains.

How is it worse if OpenAI hires those same grads internally (vs independently) to run the same prompts?

  > leaving the necessary work... up to the math community
So now it's better if OpenAI hires the mathematicians internally (vs independently) to verify any results before release. I wish people would make up their mind!

Again, that's what the math community told OpenAI they don't want. They said do release any internal results early, rather than withhold them.

Or are you saying.... OpenAI should never run an internal test involving math proofs, for fear of this 'tsunami' of potential discoveries they'd be forced to release? Isn't that a bit like the scholars refusing to look through Galileo's telescope? :-/

Except they don't too the full work. If the prompt also verified that what was proven is what what asked for, and that the proof is correct, and then write it up in an understandable fashion, then the work is done. As it is now it is more like a spoiler for a movie than the actual movie.
