Gowers wrote about AI in the late 90's. He predicted a short golden age where mathematicians would still be useful to the AI. We are in that golden age now, apparently. The AI will soon eclipse all humans in mathematics and the art form of mathematics will cease in its present form.

      I was sharing Gowers' thoughts. You clearly don't know how to read. It's not surprising considering the intellectual quality of the average commenter here.

        I still have no idea what "eclipse all humans in mathematics" and "the art form of mathematics will cease in its present form" mean.

      Egh this is pretty "use unalived not died". "Get out an English thesaurus and recreate Mona Lisa in different words." If you really want to be a cognitive maverick, you would encourage them to make up their own creole, syntax and semantics. Still, the result is describing the same shared stable bubble of spacetime! But it's a grander feat than merely swapping words with others of the same relative meaning. You totally missed the point of "put this in your own words" education. It was to make us aware we're just transpiling the same old ideas/semantics into different syntax. Sure, it provides a nice biochemical bump; but it's not breaking new ground.

  Think of it like software development. That art form also deceased due to AI. Remember the famous painters and hackers essay? It's not more relevant.

Mathematics in its current form, you say? Like, for example, when we transitioned from doing things manually to using calculators/computers?
