Erdős problem 950

This function was considered by de Bruijn, Erdős, and Turán, who showed that n<xf(n)n<xf(n)2x\sum_{n<x}f(n)\sim \sum_{n<x}f(n)^2\sim x. They gave no proofs, but a proof of the (harder) second claim is given by Gorodetsky here [mathoverflow/508491].

The study of f(p)f(p) is even harder, and Erdős could not prove that p<xf(p)2π(x)\sum_{p<x}f(p)^2\sim \pi(x).
