my point is that you're ascribing personality traits to him based on a fabric scrap of evidence that people who have known him personally for years would not recognize in him
Your evidence is vastly inferior. It's not even substantial enough to base a hypothesis on. One slideshow and you build a whole headcanon around how viciously egotistical he is.
not to mention his stance on AI isn't even egotistical? Regarding AI in math, it's quite reasonable: math isn't about solving theorems. It's about conceptual understanding. Until LLMs actually are capable of conceptual understanding, they don't threaten mathematicians.
It's just like with art: they can make pretty pictures, but LLMs aren't making art.
