"Would math go sterile without humans?" AI debate questions human-centrism in the language of nature
lu_sichu · x · 2026-10-08
lusichu pushes back on the idea that AI-driven mathematics would become sterile: AIs can build their own communities, interests, and institutions, and calling humans essential to the 'language of nature' is egotistical—superintelligent entities would communicate in more compressed forms, with humans a burden. He also reiterates that math history was largely problem-driven by practical needs.
