As a mathematician I can see that
1) chatgpt is not able to make basic computations correctly.
2) there are not many gigabytes of information about how a great mathematician use his brain to develop a new theory or concept.
3) Common language, like that used to train chatgpt, is far from the pure concepts and intuitions used in math
From all of the above, I fail to understand on what basis are you suggesting that AI is going to replace mathematicians.
Perhaps new systems with new capabilities might emerge but what we have now are very simple systems that use some clues to perform the most simple computations.
- hnfong 4y agoSo you're saying the only thine ChatGPT needs is a reliable pocket calculator and fine tuning with arxiv papers? You seem to imply that's hard, but to me it doesn't sound like a lot of work, especially compared with humanity collectively training thousands of Math PhDs every year. It's true that we're not quite there yet, but I know I wouldn't bet a 30 year career on this. Are you close to retirement in say 2 years?
