This honestly doesn’t surprise me. We have reached a point where it’s becoming clearer and clearer that AGI is nowhere to be seen, whereas advances in LLM ability to ‘reason’ have slowed down to (almost?) a halt.
Humans hallucinating about AI.

Worst case (more probable): Lying
This entire thing has been pretty disingenuous on both sides of the fence. All the anti-AI (or anti OpenAI) people are doing victory laps, but what GPT-5 Pro did is still very valuable. 1) What good is your open problem set if really its a trivial "google search" away from being solved. Why are they not catching any blame here? 2) These answers still weren't perfectly laid out for the most part. GPT-5 was still doing…

Another instance of openAI manipulating results to prolong their unsustainable circular hype bubble. The inevitable collapse could be even more devastating than the 2008 financial crisis. All while so vast resources are being wasted on non-verifiable gen AI slob, while real approaches (neuro-symbolic like DeepMind's AlphaFold) are mostly ignored financially because they don't generate the quick stock market increases…
People keep spouting this, but I don't see how the AI bubble bursting would be all that devastating. 2008 was a systemic breakdown rippling through the foundations of the financial system. It would lead to a market crash (80% of gains this year were big tech/AI) and likely a full recession in the US, but nothing nearly as dramatic as a global systemic crisis. In contrast to the dot com bubble, the huge AI spending is…
Well, an enormous amount of debt is being raised and issued for AI and US economic growth is nearly entirely AI. Crypto bros showed the other day that they were leveraged to the hilt on coins and it wouldn't surprise me if people are the same way on AI. It is pretty heavily tied to the financial system at this point.

They are a community run database, not the sole arbiter and source of this information. We learned the most basic research back in highschool, I'd hope researchers from top institutions now working for one of the biggest frontier labs can do the same prior to making a claim, but microblogging has and continues to be a blight on any accurate information so nothing new there.
> GPT-5 was still doing some cognitive lifting to piece it together.
Cognitive lifting? It's a model, not a person, but besides that fact, this was already published literature. Handy that a LLM can be a slightly better search, but calling claims of "solving maths problems" out as irresponsible and inaccurate is the only right choice in this case.

"Researcher does basic literature review" isn't news in this or any other scenario. If we did a press release every journal club, there wouldn't be enough time to print a single page advert.

I am not certain you actually looked into the model output or why this was such an embarrassment.

AI hype very bad. AI anthropomorphism even worse.
