Lichtman is an expert who commented for the story. Liam Price is the one who prompted ChatGPT. "He’s 23 years old and has no advanced mathematics training."

“I didn’t know what the problem was—I was just doing Erdős problems as I do sometimes, giving them to the AI and seeing what it can come up with,” he says. “And it came up with what looked like a right solution.”

"He sent it to his occasional collaborator Kevin Barreto, a second-year undergraduate in mathematics at the University of Cambridge."

So basically two undergrads/graduates in math, "advanced" is subjective at that point.
