Recently, the integration of commercial AI into mathematical research has sparked significant turmoil within the academic sphere. OpenAI has unveiled a collection of over 700 AI-generated drafts addressing unresolved mathematical problems. Notably, mathematician Terence Tao has employed AI tools to refine drafts concerning number theory challenges, promoting collaborative efforts within the community. This development has ignited a heated debate within academia regarding whether scholars should offer their expertise without compensation to enhance the outputs of commercial AI.

Over a thousand mathematicians have banded together to form the 'Human Mathematicians Association,' collectively vowing not to contribute unpaid labor to commercial AI initiatives or to publish mathematical papers generated by AI. Among this group, 654 scholars have taken a further step by pledging to abstain entirely from using AI at any stage of their research, thus establishing a clear boundary with commercial AI.

In a remarkable turn of events, two scholars inadvertently disproved the 26-year-old Barry Simon conjecture with the assistance of ChatGPT, underscoring the untapped potential of AI in mathematical exploration. Presently, the mathematical community is stepping into an era characterized by an abundance of proofs, which presents challenges to the traditional frameworks of academic contribution and recognition.
