这篇讲什么
没有数学背景的软件开发者Ioannis Tsiokos借助OpenAI的GPT-6 Astra模型,发现了一种能在三维空间中填满全部空间且永不重复的立体形状,他将其命名为Chair44。此前数学家曾在2023年找到能铺满二维平面而不产生重复图案的“帽子”形状,如今这一结果被推进到三维。不过一些数学家认为,由AI撰写的论文在可读性和清晰度上存在不足,尽管形状本身似乎是有效解。
原文开头
the theorems, the Lean code, the papers, and I said: ‘Here’s the problem.’ It’s kind of cheeky: I’ve been in forums with other mathematicians, and [of] course they’re all angry with me… because I don’t have the background to land this result.” While mathematicians attempt to make the formalisation process of mathematics AI-proof (see main story), AI continues to make breakthroughs. In 2023, after decades of searching, mathematicians discovered a shape called “the hat” that can tile a 2D surface without gaps and without ever creating a repeating pattern. Now, Ioannis Tsiokos, a software developer with no background in maths, has used AI to go one dimension better and discover a 3D shape that can do the same thing. …
