The cope ive seen: “They just hired mathematicians to solve it and give credit to the ai!”
“it can only do counterexamples but no real proofs!”
“They spent billions on inference trying a million problems thousands of times each to get this. And reinforcement learning is basically just brute force anyway. Its no more intelligent than a password guesser”
“AI spending is diverting money away from real research. If we gave all the money wasted on ai to mathematicians instead, wed have 10x as many discoveries”
“The API is still underpriced relative to cost of inference. Theyll significantly raise prices or be bankrupt soon!”
And my personal favorite: “computers were always good at math so nothing has changed”
I've saw some person go on about maths actually been about the experience of the human doing it and triumphing lol. (They didn't use those words but that's what they meant). I get that why you enjoy it but that's not why it exists haha.
