if part of the value of research and experimentation is to further human knowledge and wisdom, and our understanding of the universe, the AI-powered approach to solving open problems reminds me of my kids memorizing answers to their high school science tests: you may know the answer, but if you don’t know *why* it’s the answer, having that knowledge is of no value because you can’t build on it later. #maths #mathematics

it's ... kind of depressing. the wonder of discovery and advancing human understanding, turned into an automated answer machine whose only goal is to go faster. #maths #mathematics
