I don't know why there's so much drama. Animal human beings distracted from the real task at hand (eliminating poverty, hunger, human suffering) as usual.
Experts in fields are still required to validate the claims of AI. For mathematicians like Terry, people like him are still required to read through what the AI has come up with and confirm or create more experiments.
We don't yet live in a world with super AI hooked into everything and everything so it's not like AI can actually do anything with its new knowledge yet anyway. You cannot just hand those AI maths papers to anybody and expect them to understand what's going on. Nor can you expect the AI to find a revolution in fusion technology, send plans to its factory and have robots build a new type of fusion reactor because we do not have that level of integration yet.
But neither do we have UBI and we are still hurtling towards the hard ground of capitalism. This may resolve itself though because I'd imagine once we get proper AGI, the "meths" won't be able to keep it under wraps forever, eventually weights will leak, hardware will improve to where individuals can run them. Or an intelligent enough AI may decide to be benevolent and buy and run skyscraper greenhouses for those who are most in need.
