“令人震惊。”“难以置信。”“史无前例。”“超现实。”“简直疯狂。”

"Staggering." "Overwhelming." "Unprecedented." "Surreal." "Pure insanity."

这些是本周与三十多位数学家交谈时,他们用来形容OpenAI突然向数学界发布的大量研究成果的词汇。

Those were among the descriptions more than three dozen mathematicians reached for in conversations with as they tried to make sense of the flood of mathematical results OpenAI abruptly dropped on the field this week.

在惊叹、兴奋以及对如此庞大信息量感到不知所措的同时,研究人员们也深感忧虑:这一切究竟意味着什么?未来又会如何发展?

尽管反应各异,但所有研究者都一致认为,要完全理解OpenAI发布的这些内容就需要数年时间,更不用说确定数学家们自身在这一新局面中所处的位置了……

Amid the awe, excitement, and uncertainty over the sheer scale of the deluge was a deep-seated anxiety over what it all means - and what comes next. For all their different reactions, researchers agreed that simply understanding what OpenAI had released could take years, let alone figuring out where the mathematicians themselves fit in the fi …
