Welcome back to Confections & Reputations dear readers after a break of over a year. On 24 April, Scientific American reported that Liam Price, a 23-year-old amateur mathematician, had solved a 60-year-old Erdős problem using ChatGPT-Pro. The problem in question was not particularly exciting or important. Nor had it attracted a huge amount of attention from the mathematical community prior to Price’s accomplishment.

Liam Price, armed chiefly with curiosity and a ChatGPT-Pro subscription, found a solution to a long-standing Erdos conjecture that had resisted being solved for decades. Experts say the method appears genuinely new.
