Mathematician (Distinguished Professor of #Math# at @RutgersU). Here to learn about research, education, and community. Let’s build something together.
Two summers ago (if anyone still remembers that far back), AlphaProof was one point off of a gold medal on the IMO. Last summer, a half-dozen labs declared gold medal performance. Shortly thereafter, I predicted that the number of systems getting gold this summer would be...
Zero
Because nobody would care about the IMO anymore, and it would return to being something 17 year old kids do.
I think I was largely right? Have you heard anything about the IMO? Basically no; it's just too easy.
Prediction: the number of major math problems being solved *by labs* next summer will be... zero. It will be too easy for them, and will return to being something math professors, postdocs, and grad students do... (What do you think?)
