This is mathematics without a mathematician, and - as with all the other separations cleft by the AI companies - it's proving difficult to metabolize.

When you, as a research mathematician, interact with a commercial #LLM, you are providing something priceless. You are showing the company how you think. How you reason. How to *be* a mathematician.
This cannot be learnt from the literature. It has to be experienced firsthand from interactions. 🧮

A mathematician might spend years working on the computer's "answer" to that problem only to conclude that the computer's solution didn't add *any* theoretical insight to the field.

I saw a report from a mathematician who claimed that the hundreds of millions Elmo spent is comparable to a 'middle class' person spending $116.

the worst part of dating a mathematician has to be that when she’s explaining her terrible jokes to you it’s also a math lecture

He makes the point that when a mathematician finds the answer to some longstanding mathematical puzzle, they do so by creating "scaffolding" that bridges the new insight with the existing commons of mathematical understanding.

That's the catastrophic outcome that both Scarciotti and Tanswell warn us of: if we convince people that we're heading into a world of mathematics without mathematicians, that's exactly what we'll get, because no one will try to become a mathematician.

If you've introspected your way into a mathematical "breakthrough" that no mathematician will discuss with you, you can avail yourself of any number of chatbots who will assure you that you've broken exciting new theoretical ground.

The mathematician and engineer Archimedes is famously said to have been killed during the sack of Syracuse in 212 BCE while drawing geometric figures, a task he wouldn't pause despite being held at swordpoint: "Don't disturb my circles."

Every mathematician and physicist I know receives a steady stream of breathless, over-the-transom "proofs" that solve some long-standing problem in the field, and none of these experts in my orbit has ever found a breakthrough in this material.
