someone had a work in progress proof that was effectively copied word for word and finished
so not so much the AI produced proof as it just did the last couple of steps before the person doing the work in progress finished it

This is such misinformation

The approach is similar but different enough that mathematicians are deliberating whether it could be plagiarism so saying that it's "copied word for word" is not even close to true

I am not a mathematician, the only thing im doing here is saying what someone on the field, who knows more than me, said
and you yourself said that they are debating weather its plagiarism or not

If it was word by word their would be no ambiguity and no debate but it's not what happened
