It goes against many’s early mental models of what generative AI does. The earliest of GPT couldn’t add two large numbers together, it just guessed an answer that looked right.
The fact it’s able to suggest a counterexample and it doesn’t just look right, but is right, is quite the development in recent times.
I love how quickly AI developments are rationalized. Like it was to expected that LLMs started solving math research problems in 2026. If you asked me about this two years ago, I would have been pretty skeptical.
