Sorry lil bro, 12hrs or 40yrs for the same output, the choice is obvious.

Hi, I’m a mathematician. Most mathematicians do achieve new results every year. We publish a lot. The problems that stay open are not worked on pointlessly to no avail. They often motivate smaller problems and creative new directions. People organize conferences around special topics, collaborate, generate new research directions. So, some slowness is actually useful.

This is why it wont be the future.

I doubt you have any clue about their work but act like you are superior because you have a chat gpt sub.

Meanwhile as soon as it goes down yiur "skills" go.

And you think for the next 1000+ years thst magic AI will just always be there? 

Whrn the prices jump and you all face your psychosis, dont expect sympathy "big bro".

I understand the frustration lil bro, but the efficiency gain cannot be denied. Even without the math community, things will change and AI will be used. It's a science field after all, discoveries and progression are what matters
