French math establishment laments AI 'doping' invading mathematics, gets mocked

Igor Carron mocks the statement, while quoted commenters question whether such rhetoric says more about French mathematicians' competitiveness than about AI. The spat reflects growing anxiety as AI tools enter pure mathematics.
