A young mathematician, Liam Price, solved a 60-year-old problem originally posed by Paul Erdős with help from ChatGPT. Instead of discovering an entirely new idea, the solution came from using an existing mathematical method in a fresh way. Many experts had tried but failed because they were stuck in traditional thinking patterns. ChatGPT helped explore different possibilities and guided Price toward the answer. Mathematicians say the result shows how AI can support human creativity rather than replace it. Overall, the achievement highlights how combining human intuition with AI tools can lead to breakthroughs in complex problems that have remained unsolved for decades.
