Erdös Problem challenged by Ai

[Pinball1970]

I posted this on another science platform.

I was not aware of this problem, I am aware of the eccentric Erdos.
He was a mathematician who lived out of a suitcase, survived on coffee, amphetamine and just worked on Mathematics problems.
He solved a mathematics problem but Ai has challenged it.

This is a first for Ai?

Erdös. C C has also posted a similar thread in the Phys & Math forum. I had heard of the couch-surfing mendicant mathie years ago, extraordinarily prolific and eccentric. The famous Erdos number is the math version of the Kevin Bacon number.

Fuck it, I can't edit it now.

There is a biography, "The man who only loved numbers," it's knocking around somewhere, I will have to dig it out.

Different, though. This thread seems to be about the paper itself, whereas mine arguably revolves around how mathematicians and their dependents feel about this development -- reactions evolving in the domestic philosophical politics of the discipline.
