Mathematicians want proof OpenAI didn’t use their work

TL;DR

  • Mathematician Andreas Thom accuses OpenAI of dishonesty and lack of transparency about its training data.
  • Thom suspects his interactions with ChatGPT may have contributed to OpenAI's recent mathematical breakthroughs.
  • OpenAI's responses did not satisfy Thom regarding whether his conversations were used in training data.
  • Concerns echo previous accusations that OpenAI's models may have benefited from other researchers' unpublished work.
  • Thom argues that OpenAI should provide proof by disclosing datasets if they deny using user research.
  • The controversy adds to unease in the mathematical community about OpenAI's practices.
  • There is a worry that such behavior could lead to increased secrecy in mathematics research.
