Gregory Conti endorses an article on AI's impact on mathematics, arguing that sneering at mathematicians' grief is short-sighted: what's happening in math is merely a leading indicator of the impending end of all human intellectual and creative life unless AI progress is stopped. The quoted piece by Noah Carl adds that AI development won't stop here — more GDP may result, but humans will no longer be masters of their own destiny, as that torch passes to the machines.
