Summary

Often as a practicing mathematician, you have an idea, and then you kind of think it might work. Whereas for GPT, like, okay, a human told me to do this, like, let's just do this.

Why listen

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of like, it's, kind, including: Then you try for a few hours, a few weeks, and at some point you give up.

Key takeaways
  1. 01Is the model just guessing in some insane way?
  2. 02It doesn't seem like there's a limit so far, but it doesn't have that context yet
  3. 03So AI isn't just getting better at math benchmarks
