It's a funny feeling being on the outside of this with a background in applied math, not pure math. There are all these AI results in pure math, and pure mathematicians worrying about the role of mathematicians and looking for new purpose, meanwhile applied math is sitting here much less affected. From my perspective, the answer seems obvious.
My hope is that applied math departments and pure math departments get closer, and that we start having a ton more people finding applications outside of pure math for pure math results.
