No one owns mathematics. It's not covered by IP law.

It's immoral to steal someone's research. Quite sad that you don't believe that.

  • Yes, let's lie and call something stealing, then pontificate about morality.

    At worst what OpenAI did was inconsiderate, but not referencing prior work is a minor academic sin. This is especially the case when AI is not playing the vanity game that seems to so inflame some mathematicians.

      We could also acknowledge that everything that could justifiably be considered stealing is not necessarily covered by current statute.

    • It was inconsiderate and it was also stolen, just like everything else OpenAI has stolen to train their models.
