Grady Booch relays split expert takes on AI math: breakthrough or 'DDoS on mathematicians'
Grady_Booch · x · 2026-10-07
Software engineering pioneer Grady Booch shares the polarized reactions he's hearing about AI-generated math solutions: extreme praise on one side, while a domain expert on Bluesky called it a "DDoS on mathematicians." Booch admits he can't judge whether these solutions are interesting, more than isolated puzzles, useful in the real world, or advancing our understanding of math — and openly asks domain experts to weigh in.
