The painfully staggering density of undefined concepts, novel jargon and informal language in the paper obscures the difference between old ideas, possibly valid new ideas, and worthless AI slop and insanity.
The author also claims to have proved the twin prime conjecture. https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/The_Twin_Prime_Conject...
They don't seem to be affiliated with any university and don't seem to collaborate with anyone except this one person, Andrew Elliot.
My assessment of the probability that this is a real proof: Less than 0.1%.
That said, if there's any field that "independent researchers" can excel, it should be math, it's not like you need an experimental group to crib off on.
> Each appendix isolates and resolves one of the classical obstacles to a self-contained Hilbert–Pólya formulation—self-adjointness, trace-class bounds, Paley–Wiener confinement, Weyl normalization, and uniqueness of the arithmetic weights.
1. Typeset in (what appears to be) Microsoft Word. Anyone under the age of 90 who knows enough math to prove the Riemann Hypothesis will have learned and strongly prefer LaTeX.
2. Casually introduces novel terminology like "entropy-spiral coordinate" without explanation, inconsistent with norms of mathematical exposition.
3. Social absurdities characteristic of crankery. Nobody with enough knowledge to prove the Riemann hypothesis thinks they need to put "rights holder" after their name in the proof.

For whatever reason they posted their paper on zenodo but it belongs to vixra, if they had posted it there you would have never heard of it.
If you dip into the book, it looks like something today's generation of "deep thinking" AI models might produce if demanded to create a proof of the Riemann hypothesis.
