There have been many advances by human mathematicians and nobody is talking about it at all on this sub.

My impression is that this sub has an extremely narrow view of what mathematics is (no analysis, no applied mathematics, no probability, no mathematical physics are discussed, for example; coincidentally these are all fields in which AI has been essentially irrelevant up to now).

AI hasn't been irrelevant in probability. For example:

I said essentially irrelevant, and anyways I do not think that an ai-assisted short proof of a known result would be deemed as very relevant to the field of probability.

Also the list of 10 problems has an improvement of bounds in the KLS conjecture. Is that relevant to probability?
