An insightful analysis: By repeatedly telling ChatGPT Pro to keep going without providing new formulas or proof directions, a human guided the AI to discover a counterexample to the long-standing Dinitz–Garg–Goemans conjecture. The key was treating the AI's can't do it as intermediate logs, not final answers. In the AI era, the most valuable skill is not complex prompt engineering but the will to continue exploration when the AI wants to stop.
