I don't think that's correct.

You're not in any position to judge since you previously admitted having no idea.

There's no contradiction between knowing what something is, and knowing that something does not support a certain view.

What you see on the board is presumably something relating to a maths problem they're discussing. It doesn't seem AI-related at all.

Yeah, that’s not right. I’m not sure about painstakingly… it said it couldn’t make out the notation, and spat out what it thought it could read, and you never checked it - nor read the articles for context, just assumed it was to do directly with further AI work. It picked up on the polynomial, then what it thought was a scheme/sheaf being defined is actually the finite field with six elements. It also misread “Thue”…

M&Ms much? There is no finite field with six elements.

Tell him that, not me; I’m simply referring to what’s on the board, above her right hand, left of her stomach. Perhaps it’s abuse of notation.

I mean not knowing what something is and knowing that it isn't a certain specific thing.
