It’s easy to get caught up in the worldview of academia, where the value of mathematics can seem tied to producing new interesting proofs... I’m a mathematics teacher, and I’d remind you that wider society really values people who are good at mathematics, even if they never prove anything groundbreaking. The ability to reason mathematically is useful far beyond the bubble of mathematical research. There will always be a place for mathematics grads so don't be discouraged by the AI news.
