Why is that even a question? That's how human mathematics has worked for ages, it's OpenAI breaking that chain, which needs to be severely questioned.

Because the real question is not whether anyone or anything built on other work, but whether any human can build on that work.

And so far, yet again, OpenAI has stopped just shy of that, instead creating math homework for mathematical geniuses while taking away their sense of discovery and accomplishment.
