Exactly. Maybe OpenAI paid mathematicians to keep this discovery quiet, then added their proof to the training data, then manipulated a second team into prompting for this question such that the model could regurgitate the solution. This would plausibly explain why the model seems so capable at doing things like refuting fundamental theorems of mathematics while in things like competitive programming, biology, and physics it's merely only in the top 99.9%.

Thank you for engaging with my comment in a kind and authentic way.
You are believing a very unlikely scenario. I think the reason is that you have been convinced of a claim which is unlikely and indeed not true. That is: >the model seems so capable at doing things like refuting fundamental theorems of mathematics

That is not true and a complete misrepresentation of recent progress of AI in math. It is therefore not necessary to believe the conspiracy theory you described in order to explain recent progress of AI in math.

Its almost certainly a scam and you're falling for it.
Being in the top 99.9% is not a big achievement.
I know - it's pathetic and embarrassing. If there's billions of people on this planet then being in the top 99.9% means that you're just as unique as a person who decides to move to New York City. Who cares?
You're a bot! Hey everyone, over here! I found a bot!
