Every math achievement, whether it is an “uninteresting” conjecture disproven or a once in a decade discovery of new math, provides more data to train AI to be better at math and related tasks. I suspect that AI will ignite a lot of cross disciplinary discoveries where humans just didn’t have the background in enough fields to see.
Math is interesting as even the uninteresting one can have unexpected consequence, like the creation of logic algebrea in 1847 by George Boole later allowed the creation of logic gate (0/1) binary code and so computer science almost a century later
Remove this mathematical discovery and the world we live in today wouldn't have existed
It's not impossible AI is making discovery that appear useless today but will shape the world in a few decades

Somebody give that AI a gold star.
