For some reason Hannan Fry is optimistic AI will get better at this (but then maybe her job depends on it?). Personally I think mathematicians have better things to do. 'Brit mathematician lets AI agent loose with credit card – cue password leaks, CAPTCHA chaos and more British mathematician Professor Hannah Fry has shared a cautionary experiment involving an AI agent, a set of tasks, and a bank card number Fry's team gave it "to show us what it could do."' "But don't let her [the AI, self named Cass(andra)] incompetence fool you, because these things are getting better fast." https://www.theregister.com/2026/05/05/british_mathematician_tinkers_with_openclaw/?td=rt-3a
