The people who released the papers weren't randos either. OpenAI has a ton of mathematicians on staff, including Jacob Tsimerman, a fields medal winner.

Scientific progress used to be people debating and correcting other people. Now it's going to be people with AI assistance debating and correcting other people with AI assistance.
