This to me is another level of dishonesty. Imagine if a company producing math software starts to hear "rumors" someone is using their software to prove an important result and start massive runs of that software to beat the team. That may not be illegal per se but it is incredibly deceitful. I wonder if the original mathematicians should start a lawsuit for theft of intelectual property.
I would expect this for service providers that provide their "free" services but the mathematicians said they paid OpenAI to help generate this result. This is a clear conflict of interest. Similar to inside trading. Or the same lawyer being hired from two opposing sides which is a big no no. There are rules and laws that already deal with this in other industries and I expect that there will have to be regulation developed for cases where there is a conflict between AI customers and AI provider interest.
