I’m a software engineer and not a mathematician, and, yeah I read this article and immediately recognized the same pattern from my field. Even in this comment thread is somebody making the “AI is a tool, get over it,” argument. I feel sadness for the mathematicians because I already know the misery that’s coming for their field.
Software engineering has always felt somewhat broken and dysfunctional to me even 20 years ago when I started. And LLM economics have turned into something downright hostile to its practitioners. I don’t have a similar intuition about the field of mathematics. Possibly they are in a better state to have a healthy disagreement about the use of this technology.
