NYU professor Tristan Buckmaster stated that OpenAI's October 6 release of 722 AI-generated mathematical manuscripts destroyed the careers and research programs of early career mathematicians. Buckmaster also alleged a conflict of interest, claiming research proposals summarized by AI panelists end up in OpenAI's training data.
