Are they really trying to do science, or are they just trying to determine pragmatically whether or not current AI is useful for a research mathematician in their day to day job?

If it's the latter case (which it has to be), it seems that attention credit (via, e.g., articles in NY Times) is very unfairly distributed.

None of the people that advanced the state of benchmarking and did the hard work on much bigger benchmarks got any, but a ridiculous benchmark of 10 question scored big.
