Because they published a ton of slop papers with terrible English, impossible for humans (even experts) to understand, full of non-standard terms, invented jargon etc.

So effectively, stuff got proved, but people don't really understand how, so it's mostly fucking useless and done for OpenAI's marketing team, while also pissing off the maths world at large.

So if god himself comes down from the heavens and hands you the answers to major unsolved problems, but doesn’t walk you through them and you’ll have to still put in effort to understand them, then that’s “not contributing”?
