Maintaining human understanding in the face of fast progress is a big unsolved problem. If you are worried about there being nothing left when LLMs tear their way through a topic then the presence of a big unsolved problem should be comforting!
And it seems legitimately like an important problem for mathematics (and other areas), one which is deeply academic in the best sense: mathematicians spend much more time transmitting understanding than doing novel math, because they mostly exist in academia and that’s the job.
