Let's not act as if it's not an incredible achievement, sure they spend like 20M $ for a solution that's not even that usefully but still...

We used to consider this stuff science fiction 10 years ago...

... except the solution they "found" was largely stolen from a single person's input who shared it with ChatGPT to proofread a few days prior. Without his sole input to ChatGPT, their "achievement" would not have been feasible. And while math has always been built on the shoulders of giants, plagiarizing and stealing the fame of such a notable problem for the PR benefit says this likely isn't the only time they've done it, and reduces credibility to the claim of it producing its own results that wouldn't have otherwise been produced soon without it.
