I'm a researcher working in theoretical computer science. Chatgpt found a counterexample of some conjecture I've been trying for 2 years. Also, it one shot many problems I've worked on. It also improved some of my work greatly.

I feel quite useless in the sheer brutal proof writing, counterexample generating skill chatgpt is demonstrating, and wonder what would be the future of my profession.



I would have loved to have had ChatGPT when I had to do a few modules in formal methods, I'd say it would have eaten through the BS I had to wade through
