A nonlinear gcd bound for a nested algebraic approximation

Let b2b\geq 2 be the fixed integer base. Let α\alpha and β\beta be the irrational algebraic numbers and let ϵ>0\epsilon>0 be as in the preceding conjectures. For a positive integer mm, define

f(m)=[β[αbm]2].f(m)=[\beta[\alpha b^m]^2].

The third nonlinear gcd conjecture. For sufficiently large mm,

gcd(f(m),bm)<bϵm.\operatorname{gcd}(f(m),b^m)<b^{\epsilon m}.

The source gives this as a further illustrative open question about nonlinear congruences; no resolution is supplied.
