In a series of Mastodon posts, Thom argues those chatbot exchanges may have fed directly into the results OpenAI later celebrated. He's the second mathematician in a matter of days to raise the alarm - the first dispute centered on whether OpenAI's models drew on unpublished research without credit. Thom calls OpenAI's silence on where its training data comes from dishonest, not just vague.\n\nThis isn't really about one chatbot transcript. It's about whether AI labs can keep claiming novel mathematical breakthroughs while refusing to show their work. Math is a small, close-knit field - the people who might have unknowingly contributed to a training set are peers OpenAI has to face at the same conferences.\n\nOpenAI has faced the same where-did-the-data-come-from question from news publishers, visual artists, and open-source coders - the pattern by now is familiar, and so is the non-answer.","[\"openai\",\"training-data\",\"mathematics\",\"ai-ethics\"]","2026-09-10T11:00:57.000Z","2026-09-10T13:23:01.704Z","2026-09-10T13:23:13.608Z","published",null,[],"ai",[26,27,28,29],"openai","training-data","mathematics","ai-ethics",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"The Verge","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theverge.com\u002Fai-artificial-intelligence\u002F993263\u002Fwhere-does-openai-get-mathematics-training-data",0,{"sections":36},[37,41,45,50,55,60,65,69,74,79,84,89,94,99],{"name":38,"slug":24,"count":39,"latest_published_at":40},"AI",3480,"2026-09-11T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":42,"slug":43,"count":44,"latest_published_at":40},"Security","security",628,{"name":46,"slug":47,"count":48,"latest_published_at":49},"Policy","policy",336,"2026-09-11T00:56:21.000Z",{"name":51,"slug":52,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Deals","deals",179,"2026-06-29T20:02:07.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Hardware","hardware",153,"2026-09-09T15:12:32.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",99,"2026-09-09T17:27:33.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":40},"Science","science",98,{"name":70,"slug":71,"count":72,"latest_published_at":73},"Software","software",75,"2026-09-10T20:41:21.000Z",{"name":75,"slug":76,"count":77,"latest_published_at":78},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",69,"2026-08-18T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":80,"slug":81,"count":82,"latest_published_at":83},"Startups","startups",55,"2026-09-09T23:14:29.000Z",{"name":85,"slug":86,"count":87,"latest_published_at":88},"Gaming","gaming",43,"2026-09-10T12:18:06.000Z",{"name":90,"slug":91,"count":92,"latest_published_at":93},"General","general",41,"2026-09-08T01:57:23.000Z",{"name":95,"slug":96,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"Reviews","reviews",20,"2026-06-24T12:00:01.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
