Though for the most part I hardly use advanced mathematics in my day to day job, it is sometimes the case that math is like a super power. Where if I programmed the obvious idea to solve a combinatorics problem, the solution would never be tractable. But, then I learn the mathematics of combinatorics, and suddenly I can write a much simpler and much more powerful solution. So, math doesn't help frequently (or perhaps not trying to use it enough), but when it does it can help tremendously. It can also help deflate a lot of the hype in AI and ML, especially if you know the fundamental theory of ML.
