AI Will Change Everything, But It Won't

The post quotes a discussion on AI vs. human capabilities. The quoted user points out that just as AI beat humans at chess long ago yet people still mostly enjoy watching humans play, something similar will likely play out for mathematics. Even with smarter AI, we should still have Olympiads and conferences, and people will still be more interested in hearing from mathematicians like Terence Tao than an AI.
The author concludes with a paradoxical observation: "AI will change everything, but it won't. It will transform every facet of reality, but nothing will change."
