Here’s a github tracking AI contributions to Erdos problems: https://github.com/teorth/erdosproblems/wiki/AI-contributions-to-Erdős-problems
“The raw output of ChatGPT’s proof was actually quite poor. So it required an expert to kind of sift through and actually understand what it was trying to say,” Lichtman says. But now he and Tao have shortened the proof so that it better distills the LLM’s key insight.
This tracks with what I have seen regarding AI. It looks superficially awesome, but when you start to analyze its output it has a lot of holes that require someone trained in the art to fix. You know, someone with years of experience, and who got that experience without the benefit of AI shortcuts.
What happens 10 or 15 years from now, when all the current crop of experts are retired and all the experts who could have curated the AI output had to spend all that time as baristas instead because the AI took all of their entry level jobs?
Lol, capitalism & CEO rule 1: only think about the next quarter profits, fuck the future, I’ve already made my money
Why didn’t they just ask ChatGPT to summarize it for them? /s
If you have your steak a little burnt already, then you can’t fix that with more heat.
I see you too have eaten my father in law’s steaks.
That’s when you ask chatgpt how to un-burn the steak! It probably involves glue, or perhaps sunblock.
“A little bleach will take that char right off — and gives the steak a bold, vibrant flavor as well!”
That’s a quitter mentality, we are making that steak extra well done.
Charcoal must be very healthy, for something somewhere out there.
Not just that the next generation of experts will hypothetically be employed as baristas, but I don’t think people take the risk of deskilling enough. The next generation of would-be experts won’t be as good at whatever because they’ve learned to rely on AI. We risk effectively transferring valuable skills from humans to Musk- or Altman-owned chatbots. That should horrify everyone.
Ok, maybe not literally baristas. But my point is that the next generation of experts simply will not exist, because all the entry level jobs are evaporating. All of them. Just ask any group of college graduates with a tech degree about how hard the job market is right now.
Not disagreeing at all. The mass unemployment of a bunch of industries is terrible. I’m just saying the other side of the coin is also terrible, that we’re heading towards a world where humans have lost the ability to perform important skills to (potentially hostile) chatbots (owned by billionaires) that we won’t be able to properly manage or oversee. That’s the flip side of most ‘positive’ AI stories: ‘AI is better at detecting early breast cancer… And the doctors that use AI have gotten worse because of it.’
Also this:
“What’s beginning to emerge is that the problem was maybe easier than expected…”
My grandpa said using a calculator would spoil my math abilities.
Actually it spoiled my arithmetic tricks. Instead I had more time to learn things like vector calculus.
Yeah, but your calculator does math the same way every time, and doesn’t hallucinate wrong answers seemingly at random.
More hype lies
Easy to be surprised when you don’t know how the magic box works. Basically magic.
