Satirical Tweet Mocks How Twitter Would Dismiss Terry Tao Once AI Solves Math
tak3sh8 · x · 2026-10-12
A satirical tweet imagines Twitter discourse in 2026: once AI solves math, people will claim that since we don't even understand paracetamol, Fields Medalist Terence Tao must be a fraud, mathematicians are useless, and society is better off without them.
The post mocks a rising anti-intellectual strain in AI discourse, where technological progress becomes an excuse to devalue human expertise rather than a reason for humility.
