Mathematics is undergoing the biggest change in its history

This is amazing. While it might seem like llms are “taking away math jobs”, my perspective is that it will allow mathematicians to be much more productive.

One way to think about research is that the space of unknowns is absolutely enormous. Researchers are human and they can only focus on discovering a small part of it. There just aren’t enough people doing research! LLMs will make the existing people a lot more productive, but the space is still huuuuuge!

Terrifying. Computer (software) engineering and math seem to be looking like a dead-end professions at the moment.

Alternative: mathematics has become myopic and unaware many keep rediscoveirng wheels from different perspectives.

Where's the "just a stochastic parrot" crowd?

paywall ... interesting subject though
