Data scientist rickasaurus offers a steel-manned concern: the biggest risk of AI-assisted math isn't the technology itself, but that the traditional math community fails to adapt—if mathematicians don't evolve, university math funding could be gutted worldwide.
The implicit logic: if outsiders believe AI can produce mathematical results for less, money flows elsewhere; how the math community responds will shape the discipline's survival.
