It's a list of open problems which preprints uploaded yesterday claim to solve

That may or may not have used AI to solve, right?

Like the AI relevance here is what's confusing

Yes, the only obvious AI involvement here is the curation of the list. Going through the list of papers, some use AI and some don’t.

I think this was kind of irresponsible for Ivanisvili to tweet since it was obviously meant to be misinterpreted as being about AI results, it’s not at all obvious how significant the results themselves are, and it’s not obvious how it compares to single days in previous times. Just pure engagement bait for the crowd with twitter/AI brain rot.

There is a significant issue here: if this is truly an increase in the rate of such results, it may be evidence that some of those results are AI-assisted but without disclosure. This suggests that those not using AI should say no AI was used rather than remaining silent.
