@pbloem@mathstodon.xyz @tao@mathstodon.xyz Short term, maybe. But why would you need a human brain to understand it, if for a few bucks you get access to AI that already does (in a sense that it has a track record of applying it correctly)?

@janbogar@mastodonczech.cz @tao@mathstodon.xyz It depends on what math is _for_, really. It's quite surprising to me how unanswered that question now turns out to be. If it's for sending rockets to mars, a reliable AI is all we need and we can just watch Netflix, but I think a lot of the drive behind modern math is about what it does in and to our brains.
