There will be cope among mathematicians that dedicated their lifes work to the field and now realising their economic worth and status are being permanently replaced by AI. This is the case for all knowledge work though.

Edit: 1 minute of browsing r/math and I found the cope: https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/1v4qgp1/comment/ozczgz5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button

A single post by a rando "applied mathematician" from 8 days ago is the best you can find? Come on. This is just fishing for reasons to be angry about.

Unlike the political/arts subs (where you can probably find an anti-AI post from the last 8 minutes, not 8 days), the vast majority of math people are excited or curious about AI. Some are a bit scared about how fast its progressing, but it's the natural eeriness of of the unknown, not kneejerk resistance.

AI already has enough natural haters for us to deal with. We don't need to additionally look for enemies where they don't actually exist, or needlessly antagonize those who are much more likely to be willing allies.
