    > Regardless of the true cost, it seems that professional mathematicians now need to wary about what they put into a LLM and think hard about how to disclose and publish a result.

    This is all but guaranteed now.

    Mathematicians/Scientists/Researchers need to stop sharing freely with "AI Companies" and have explicit clauses in place in their publications about not using their research without their explicit consent.

    There should be a clear legal distinction between using research data for AI model-training vs. another researcher using it.

    Come up with a legal framework, establish procedures for sharing and using others work and have a single scientific body in charge of enforcing it.

      The USA doesn't have legal frameworks any more, you just buy and sell the right to do what you want. Even our supreme court is disingenuous now.
