Mathematicians' reactions to AI range from grief over changes to their field and pressure to adapt to excitement.

“Uh, all that we know is it's getting really good really quickly, and no one has any understanding of how much better it's gonna get. So mathematicians have had various different reactions to this, ranging from, uh, you know, what could only be described as grief, uh, that, uh, that the subject is changing and, uh, and that they're gonna have to adapt or, or die.”

“Uh, so ranging from grief to excitement, and I'm very much at the excitement end of the scale. I think mathematics is gonna be hugely accelerated by this software because remember, it's already doing interesting things, and the thing you have to remember is it's, it's worse.”
