Terence Tao used ChatGPT to work through Jacobian conjecture mathematics; commenter notes zero corrections needed

A commenter observed that ChatGPT, which Tao used during the work, did not need to be corrected even once. The interaction covered advanced commutative algebra — a domain where LLMs have historically struggled with symbolic reasoning.
