Why creepy? Apparently the AI did most of the work, so they put the spotlight on that, duh.

But I thought AI was just a tool, literally no different than the printing press or the internal combustion engine. Why would the spotlight be put on a tool? How can a tool discover anything? Do we credit printers with writing books?

Pure math has been overvalued for a long time. Now that we don't need humans for it, it's really time for pure mathematicians to pack it in.

Who says we don't need humans for it? Are non-mathematicians going to be guiding agents to solving pure mathematical problems?

"Warren"? You know him personally?

Intellectual property works differently.

If solving a problem is "purely" theoretical it's of no use outside the math community's enjoyment. Otherwise it's not purely theoretical.

> none of the millennium problems have anything to do with a "real" problem

P vs NP has a lot to do with real problems.

> this is ABSOLUTELY not how actual mathematicians see their field

Yeah and they should start seeing it differently

Congratulations on your opinion?

Indeed. As Nassim Taleb says, "Something bad for the (existing) class of mathematicians as they lose their privilege, but not necessarily bad for mathematics & our body of knowledge?" https://xcancel.com/nntaleb/status/2098498124419305639
