Replying to François Fleuret, François Charton praises Terence Tao as one of the few trying to think through solutions for the whole mathematical community amid AI anxiety — while others panic, seek checks from big tech, or sneer. Charton disagrees with Tao's position but respects him, citing Duminil-Copin and Villani as fellow serious thinkers.
