NYU Math Professor: Still Uses Anthropic and OpenAI, but Won't Feed Original Ideas

On October 10 that, citing a CNBC interview with NYU mathematics professor Tristan Buckmaster relayed by Rohan Paul, Buckmaster stated he still uses tools such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Codex, but will not input any ideas he considers original. The report comes against the backdrop of OpenAI publishing 722 AI-generated mathematics papers, sparking unease among professional mathematicians. Buckmaster noted that the number of open problems is infinite, whereas the time limits for PhD and postdoctoral research are finite, and this disparity constitutes a source of pressure.
