'Association for Human Mathematics' bans AI via three vows, mocked as self-defeating
chrisfirst · x · 2026-10-10
- A new "Association for Human Mathematics" requires three vows: no technical labor/consulting/publicity for commercial AI companies, no publishing AI-generated math texts (papers, reviews, lecture notes, books), and its "AI-free caucus" bans AI models in research.
- Chris First mocked the pledge: membership requires you not to use the tool currently solving problems your field has been stuck on for years.
- A telling drama moment in the math community's pushback against AI in research and publishing.
