ChatGPT finds an error in Terence Tao's math research

https://www.erdosproblems.com/forum/thread/783> Ah, GPT is right, there is a fatal sign error in the way I tried to handle small primes. There were no obvious fixes, so I ended up going back to Hildebrand's paper to see how he handled small primes, and it turned out that he could do it using a neat inequality ρ(u1)ρ(u2)≥ρ(u1u2) for the Dickman function (a consequence of the log-concavity of this function). Using this, and implementing the previous simplifications, I now have a repaired argument....
