AI, Science and Mathematics
Where AI is genuinely contributing to discovery, and where the hard work still belongs to humans.
Claims that "AI discovered X" are easy to make and usually overstated. These essays look closely at two cases where the line between AI contribution and human work actually matters: a 150-year-old conjecture in mathematical physics, and the more basic question of what it even means for a number to be exact. Both are attempts to be precise about what AI reasoning actually is, instead of what it's marketed as.
