Cliff Pickover shared a new paper titled "The Crisis of AI-Generated Mathematics." The author argues for total opposition to the use of AI in mathematics, warning that the profession is "not prepared" for models like OpenAI's that solve human-level problems. The paper contends that AI shortcuts human understanding, devalues mathematical knowledge, and threatens the infrastructure of coherence, arguing that mathematicians neither need nor should use AI.
