@tao@mathstodon.xyz I have endorsed it, but I don’t fully agree that AI will single‑handedly destroy the math community. I think that in the next two to three years we will have AI that can solve most open problems. However, it could also be used to train and embed “math thinking” and understanding in humans, and we could optimize for that in the future. Why is that not considered a possibility? I believe that in the future we will have cool headsets that can read our minds and communicate with them, teaching us things so beautifully that we could never have done before. Such positive scenarios are highly likely. The headset example is, of course, an oversimplification, but the point is that we could have AI tutors and a math‑community builder, possibly fitting thousands of years of mathematical context and problem‑solving skills much faster into a person’s brain.
