Known as the "infinite monkey theorem", the mathematical thought-experiment has long been used to explain the principles of probability and randomness.

Participants worked through undergraduate-level mathematical theorems with the assistance of an LLM and were asked to rate each individual LLM response for correctness and helpfulness.
