An AI is now better than most maths professors at solving Olympiad problems. OOF.

>>16578218 I'll believe it when they make Google or whatever other company put their AI up as a participant of the current and upcoming Olympiads.

How does it compare to wolfram alpha?

Let's be honest. Most mathematicians don’t have anything against automated theorem provers. If AI is capable of providing novel proofs, whether human readable or formal, they will gladly accept them. After all, pursuing knowledge is more important than any ego driven goal.

we have this kind of breathless news every two weeks. it always goes away without a trace, so it is always false.

>Olympiad problems
I have friends who have studied and worked at top maths institutes in France and Germany.
No one except for pajeets and chinks gives a flying fuck about this olympiad crap.

>geometry
Not much more impressive than a calculator being better than humans at arithmetic. If you have infinite computing power you just draw every possible segment and angle and intersection point and whatever else with the info given, make deductions with basic geometrical theorems, and see if the result falls out. If not then throw in more points and keep going. The skill of the people good at doing it is in finding the correct combination quickly through intuition and experience, not brute force.
Also 99% of math professors have probably completely forgotten most of the details of high school geometry.

This, it's well known that Olympiad geometry problems are all solvable by the same brute-force algorithm, it's just too time-consuming (for a human) to do so in the Olympiad setting.

>LLM trained on the solutions can actually reproduce them
Wow it's so over

School math is just a circlejerk that has nothing to do with real research level mathematics. Moreover, I have big questions about the dataset they used to train the model. The IMO is the most well-known mathematics olympiad in the world, and it would be almost impossible to filter all websites with the solutions to its questions.

Anon, they are just pretending they can't flip burgers.

>I'll believe it when
A brainlet literal who human is announcing when he will believe something, and he has no idea he does not and will never matter.
