This is the template any field should have in the face of AI: screw AI, forget it. If you're using it, it's a disrespect to the field. Let's continue without it

This is the template any field should have in the face of AI: screw AI, forget it. If you're using it, it's a disrespect to the field. Let's continue without it. I think that's the only sane approach.
- light_triad 3mo agoWilliam Thurston's argument (from the quote) was that the point of math isn't to produce more math but to better understand the nature of reality, just like the point of code is not to generate more code but to increase user value. AI is a tool that reshapes knowledge work but the ultimate goal remains about value.
