I wouldn't expect a hand-crafted proof by an amateur to be much different.
- stingraycharles 6mo agoWouldn’t the expectation for ChatGPT be that it presents a well refined report, rather than hand crafted proof / notes? Because from what I gather, they basically had to go through the equivalent of a pile of notes to find the crux.
- cccbbbaaa 6mo agoYeah, I also expect better than amateur-level redaction from a system that OpenAI marketing sells as a team of PhD in your pocket.
- shiandow 6mo agoDepends. I reckon a proof by an amateur would either be worthless because it demonstrates no understanding whatsoever or significantly better because they actually understand the proof. LLM produced texts are often in a weird area where the quality of the content and the quality of the writing have very little to do with one another.
- FartyMcFarter 6mo agoI don't think it's true that all amateurs have no understanding whatsoever. Amateurs have proven things before, and they've also wasted mathematicians time with wrong proofs.
- shiandow 6mo agoI'm not saying none of them have any understanding, I'm saying the ones who understand would write better proofs.
- themafia 6mo agoHow many hand-crafted amateur proofs do you read in a month? If the answer is close to zero then what are your expectations actually driven by?
