I suppose not. I am not a mathematician, and there has been too much drama to understand anything.

- ogogmad 8d agoProfessional maths is sometimes seen as requiring IQ 200,000 creative problem solving skill. You have to imagine creative ways of solving problems which people have never solved before. Failing to do that means you can't become a professional. The subject has lots of theory to help with this, and is sprawling. LLMs can do it better now than most professionals can. It is therefore notable that mathematicians were once confident that their subject tested human ingenuity to its limit. The existential crisis of their field grew from 0 to 100 in only 6 months.
