A Chinese artificial intelligence framework has autonomously resolved an open problem proposed more than a decade ago by a US mathematician, according to the Peking University-led team that developed it. The dual-agent framework solved the problem posed in 2014 by former University of Iowa professor Dan Anderson – who died in 2022 at the age of 73 – the researchers said in a preprint paper published on April 4. By synthesising decades of mathematical literature, the Chinese team’s AI framework…
Bullshit. There is zero “AI” involved. Mathematicians have been using computational methods since mathematicians invented the computer. There has never been any kind of “artificial intelligence” involved and probably never will. It’s just statistics/math plus compute.
Secondly a “decade old” problem in math is super new and nobody gives a fuck.
Thirdly it’s telling AF they don’t mention the actual problem or link to the actual paper. It’s most likely something that’s completely manageable by big, modern computers.
Please stop feeding the bullshit “AI” dumpster fire.
