AI Boosterism Exposed: High-Profile Spat Reveals Dark Side of AI Hype
A recent social media exchange between AI researchers highlights the dangers of AI boosterism, where exaggerated claims about AI's capabilities can mislead the public and undermine trust in the field. The incident involved a claim that Google's rival, OpenAI, had used its large language model, GPT-5, to solve 10 long-standing mathematical problems, only to be debunked by a mathematician who pointed out that the model may have simply accessed existing solutions in a vast database of mathematical papers. This episode underscores the need for responsible communication about AI's limitations and potential.
