With the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem apparently solved, and potential solutions to one or two of the remaining problems on the horizon, it’s an understatement to say AI is good at math. AI has gotten so good, it has even called into doubt if math a profession can survive, with a collective of Field Medalists discouraging its use in a recent open letter. This leaves writing as the final frontier. Interestingly, when Chat GPT launched, and as recently as early 2025, its math skills were poor compared to writing, but now this has reversed. AI has never quite gotten to the level of producing prose that doesn’t, well, sound like AI, which is the ultimate test. A successful implementation would be something like this: you input a writing sample (longer is better), a target wordcount, and a style to emulate, from which it does the background research and fills in the gaps by inferring what you meant, and adhering to the wordcount and style.
