ChatGPT has helped people untangle problems that previously eluded professional mathematicians, potentially changing the entire field, reports Alex Wilkins Could we soon see mathematicians swap chalkboards for chatbots? AMATEUR mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren't the most advanced in the mathematical canon, the success of AI models in tackling them shows their mathematical performance has passed a significant threshold, say researchers, and could change the way we do mathematics.
