It’s not unreasonable to want OpenAI to be thorough and rigorously check their work before sharing it though. Sounds like that didn’t happen here.

If say 10% of papers have mistakes, I think they are thorough enough for this kind of volume and complexity.

With the models and scientists they have, I didn't expect this level of mistakes.

10% is ridiculously high compared with published papers in math journals where the number of critical mistakes is near zero.

they don't claim journals quality, which doesn't make published proofs useless artifacts.
