When OpenAI posted about their 10 breakthroughs, I saw lots of career research mathematicians say things mostly along the lines of “I don’t understand any of this it’s way over my head”.

Are we missing the forest for the trees here? If a math problem falls in the forest but nobody is around to understand it does it make a sound?

How can we possibly make use of these breakthroughs if we don’t understand them? How could we ever make anything useful with them?

Are we ready to just let go of our intellectual faculties and give them to a giant supercomputer nobody understands? How do we tell truth from fiction?
