@PSL2Z@mathstodon.xyz - cheap AI may not last. These companies will want to make money eventually; they're bleeding billions and hoping to recoup them once we get addicted. Have you seen the figures on how much these companies are losing on each paid subscription now? I'm hoping good open-source models you can run yourself will kneecap these companies. But they may keep an edge on the most powerful models... the kind that can settle the hardest conjectures. Math departments may wind up paying bills comparable to the cost of running a lab in the experimental sciences. Good grad students will learn to use AI wisely. Bad ones will try to offload the hard part of writing their theses to AI.
