"Greedy" is not a moral statement, it's a description of an optimization strategy focusing on short term improvements without a view to the long term consequences or state of the system.

Bringing it back to math explicitly: you are essentially betting that the singularity is here, today, and that there are absolutely no downsides to breaking the pipeline which trains mathematicians (meaning that in 5-10 years at most there will be zero humans capable of assessing AI math output or independently advancing the state of the art).
