It Really Is That Easy

So you just casually solved one of the most famous unsolved problems in computer science—whether P equals NP—by telling your AI to "make no mistakes"? Genius move. Why didn't the thousands of mathematicians and computer scientists think of that over the past 50 years?

For context: P = NP is literally a million-dollar Millennium Prize Problem. If P equals NP, it means every problem whose solution can be quickly verified can also be quickly solved. But sure, just add "make no mistakes" to your ChatGPT prompt and collect your trophy filled with cash. The Clay Mathematics Institute will be sending you a check any day now.

Peak AI era energy right here—where people think prompt engineering is the same as mathematical proof. Next up: solving the Riemann Hypothesis by asking nicely.
