littmath has published an essay on "Proofs and Prompts" arguing how the mathematics profession should adapt to highly capable AI systems — including the hard question of how to train future research mathematicians when AI can produce math. The retweeter calls it one of the first genuinely good sets of suggestions on this problem. Readers are invited to comment and complain on the author's website.
