I don’t. But I do know how the scientific method works, and OpenAI’s display is anything but. Until what they have demonstrated is reproduced I take their claims to be nothing but marketing. A for profit company will lie in order to maximize their profits. Above I presented an alternative hypothesis, which is probably wrong, but until OpenAI’s results are replicated I will believe my alternative hypothesis just as much as I believes the claims of the for profit company making them.
I’m a non-math layman, and not a scientific method knower like yourself. How does one usually “replicate” a math or Lean proof?
It's the method they used to create the proof that's in question here. They claim their amazing product did it, and therefore you should buy their product because will do amazing things for you too!
Hopefully not in the same way you should never naively trust compilers!
The generation of the proof can be replicated. And if it can‘t we should be suspicious of their claims.
