If you want to do this rigorously, you should run it as a competition like the guys at the AI-MO Prize are doing on Kaggle.

That way you get all the necessary data.

I still think this is bro science.

If this were a competition, some people would try hard to win it. But the goal here is exploration, not exploitation. Once the answers are revealed, it's unlikely a winner will be identified, but a bunch of mathematicians who tried prompting AI with the questions might learn something from the exercise.

But everything has been explored in other datasets already.

If only a bunch of mathematicians learn something, why are so many people talking about this, why is the NY Times posting about this?

This is the attention economy at its worst.
