Wow, AI is a tool. I have never heard that one before!

No, I don't think calculators were associated with cheating. More with a skill atrophy.

Stockfish on the other hand is of course associated with cheating because it does all the work, unlike calculators.

I would suggest that hardly anyone in the public is asking you to increase efficiency. That is the argument you read on pro-AI VC forums and Reddit.

In other words, it is a made-up argument. I think some mathematicians are either addicted (Feynman disease) or hope to make a breakthrough and somehow get credit. So they use "the public" to justify their habit.

The real public that is not on these forums wants academic freedom and independence from corporations. Both will suffer if you are entering soulless production pipelines.
