A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728

In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.

Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.

AI is a paraphrasing machine, like 99% of humans.

Well a broken clock is sometimes right.

Often for puzzles like this there is a key "hint" or phrasing that allows you to more efficiently sample the latent space in a way that makes getting the right solution from the AI more likely.

It wasn't solved, nigger. The problem was literally formulated incorrectly and got fixed last year. There was no solution for that. Stop being a coping nigger and just accept that even mathematicians are leveraging AI to solve complex problems.

the promise of completely autonomous ai agents changing everything last year was coming from a place of misplaced confidence
those completely autonomous agents will mostly not exist this year either
however, this year the the ai assistant agents will arrive on people's desktops and phones and will just do things on request
they will fundamentally change how work is done on computers and be a rude awakening for a lot of people

No. You're one of those unpeople. In your next post, explain what """allows you to more efficiently sample the latent space""" means, in concrete technical terms. What "latent space"?

Humans and animals have the ability generate knowledge on their own from interacting with the world, and from the physical structure of their being. Like math, which exists in animals that don't even have the ability to acquire knowledge in any other way. In other words, humans and animals have intelligence.

AI does not generate knowledge on its own and cannot do so, only copying things that other people have written down. As it is unable to naturally generate knowledge, it does not even know these things that it copies, as even copying requires genesis of knowledge. In other words, it does not have intelligence.

If the problem really was corrected only a few months ago, Pomerance may have gotten the solution back in 2017.
