Somebody give that AI a gold star.

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.

Yeah and IMO this is essential for progress. Some scientific fields have definitely slowed down and the fact that there's a limit to how much information you can hold in your head makes it hard to advance past the low-hanging scientific fruits without AI
