Artificial intelligence has recently made headlines for solving a number of “Erdős problems,” conjectures left behind by the prolific mathematician. Now, a 23-year-old with no advanced training in mathematics but a ChatGPT Pro subscription has solved one such problem #1196. “He received the new solution in response to a single prompt to GPT-5.4 Pro. The AI seems to have used a totally new method for problems of this kind. It’s too soon to say with certainty, but this LLM-conceived connection may be useful for broader applications—something hard to find among recently touted AI triumphs in math.” Link (you can freely open it in an incognito window)
