Aside from the usual squabbling about AI, it seems the bombshell claim is this:

"In particular, we show that the formalised Lean proof does not correspond to the NL proof of blow-up of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations."

So these authors seem to be claiming that OpenAI has not really proven Navier-Stokes at all. If I get their idea correctly, they are claiming that the LLM has not formalized the original "natural language" idea of Navier-Stokes correctly. If true, it would mean that their purported Lean proof is not actually a proof of Navier-Stokes at all, but something that is an incorrect translation of the original natural language idea. If correct, this is a really bold claim and I would like to see if other researchers agree.
