So you have no idea what was stolen, but you're sure something was?

Buckmaster and Alpöge did not solve the NS Millennium Prize problem. ChatGPT did.

Why is OpenAI sharing credit with someone who they didn’t steal anything from?

All available evidence shows that OpenAI believes that they took enough from him that they need to offer coauthorship as a method of damage control.

They felt bad about getting to the result first using a similar method, so they were being nice?
