the flip side of this is that American high schoolers are the only fucking high schoolers in the world who are not taught how to use calculators with CAS, so they are unemployable for any work that requires algebra until they go to university

are you saying you cant do algebra without a calculator?

No, I'm saying that in the real world nobody cares if you can do algebra with pen and paper, you're going to be given and going to be expected to use the latest tools that make you the most productive, which today means you have to know how to use CAS software, which Americans are inexplicably never taught about until university.

Unreliable results become invisible when each mathematician is expected to review 20 papers a day to keep peer review schedules to 6 months between submission and decision. Remember that review is free labor, nobody gets paid for it and nobody gets paid to publish (people who want to publish have to pay north of $5000 for the privilege).
That aside however, mathfags have often been accepting obviously wrong proofs because they were 'dazzled by math', which is kinda points 3 and 4, where now anyone who says 'proof with ai' automatically gets their paper accepted, even with false results, because journals want to publish things that will have a lot of eyeballs on them (that's how they make money). This has been a problem in all fields of science for a long time (in fact, in AI research, it used to be a meme that if you want to get your paper accepted, instead of having good or interesting results, you should just put some bullshit math that isn't even valid and you'll automatically be accepted as having "amazingly insightful grand novel results". We called that "dazzled by math").
Result overhyping is a problem because it causes funding funnels into irrelevant areas. Same thing that has happened to structure prediction in bio and general AI x bio bullshit trends where they only fund pure-tech labs with only overfit/fake results to show while serious outlets get nothing because 'eww stinky biologists, tech is the new thing'. Or even in AI research: the only thing that gets funded is muh transformers even though research in other areas like state space models have shown far more promise so far.

They're right. They were not protesting against all calculator use, just students using them too early. Kids shouldn't be using AI until college.

>1. A publication system overburdened with unreliable results
>Mathematics is built on rigorous proofs that provide clear understanding. However, AI can produce ‘proofs’ that look convincing but contain almost invisible errors.
build better verifiers then, m88.
and this is not a real problem - any result will be scrutinised if it's actually useful.

>2. Lack of proper attribution and violation of copyright
>AI models produce results without citing the human work they build on. This raises questions about recognition and intellectual property.
not true. @codex, cite your sources

>3. Dependence on AI for results to be considered significant
>There is a risk that mathematicians will soon depend on access to the latest proprietary AI technology and expensive computational resources in order to produce competitive results. This leads to inequality between researchers.
they should all join team altman and solve the rest of math and we can be done

>4. Overhyping of results
>Mathematics values work based on depth, difficulty, and significance. Press releases and blogs often make AI claims without scientific scrutiny. This leads to overestimation of AI capabilities and underestimation of human contributions.
sour grapes, nigga. two independent solutions to erdos 90 in a week, you niggas have had 80 years. suck it up, there's a new king in town.


>5. Loss of autonomy
>When technical feasibility or commercial interests shape research, mathematics risks losing autonomy in setting its research agenda.
how is this even a new problem nigga. research money always goes to places where there's commercial interest.
>>
>>108970608
1. There are no verifiers, you have to go by hand and check the proof works or not. It can take several months to verify (fulltime) for more complex proofs.

2. Yes true. Telling AI to cite sources doesn't mean it will. Hallucinations are a major concern.

3. The problem is that unless they say "with AI" in the title, their papers don't get looked at anymore, even though it has no relevance at all to whether something is solved.

4. Solving things nobody has ever looked at because it's literally useless using trivial proofs that were already used a billion times before is the most retarded cope ever. Most mathematicians have never even heard of erdos before this meme.

5. Not true, while it is biased toward commercial interest, that is usually more like hype-based. Example: there is no real commercial interest in pre-llm deep learning or in quantum etc., but those areas have usually been crazy well funded. Furthermore, the funding in pre-llm deep learning was very broad, not single-minded bullshit like we have now. The same is applicable to math for example.

What a stupid fucking thing to say. Let's say AI shits out 1,000,000 billion lines of code, which it can do before I finish typing this sentence. There's a logical error in it, find it. Oh wait, by the time you even reply to this post, it would have shit out 1,000,000 billion more lines of code. Then another. Then another. then another.

They don't want their field becoming the indian jeet dumping ground that CS has turned into and that is laudable.

All that LLM code and yet everything is just as shitty as it was before if not worse, I have yet to see any company improve their software by the 5x productivity boost LLMs supposedly give. Well I guess 200k todo and calorie tracker apps have been "written" with it so from that angle there is definitely a 200x productivity boost to useless garbage.
>>108967754
Until an LLM solves a millenium problem they are objectively inferior to human mathematicians and potentially harmful as everyone instead of using their own brain just burns 4 trillion tokens hoping something useful drops out at the end.
>>
>>108970773

>>108970820
nta but if you take into accound how some jeets vibecode 300k LoC simple blog sites I wouldn't be surprised if by sheer combined volume of slop it hits 90%
>>
>>108970864
That's a good point, but I don't think that was the context of the quote. The implication was that if you go to a random company, say Google or Amazon, and you check what the approved PRs look like, 90% would be fully AI-generated. Despite how happy the schadenfreude would make me if it was true given recent constant service disruptions, unfortunately I know it's really just jeets behind this so far.
>>
>>108970820
if you only look at the vanilla configurations of claude code that mark themselves as contributors on github, those alone added 3 billion lines of code to public repos on github in the last 7 days

>>108970876
google claims over 75% of all new code being ai generated and they have the worst coding models
you're simply detached from reality
llms completely changed swe over the last 6 months and they will do that to everything else over time
you will be worse at the thing you love than a machine

In Russia, nobody teaches you how to use CAS in high school either. But if a kid isn't completely brainlet tier, they’ll find Wolfram Alpha on their own and figure it out. It’s not rocket science. I literally learned how to use Wolfram at a basic level just to double-check my work back when I was in 8th grade (I was around 14 year old at the time).

We aren't allowed to use calculators on math exams at all - not even basic-tier ones. I don't see the point in teaching high schoolers how to use CAS. Anyone who actually needs it will either teach themselves or learn it in uni. High school math should focus on teaching functions, graphs, trig, logs, problems with parameters, plane geometry, and solid geometry. Plus, covering limits, derivatives, and basic integrals (which are part of calculus-1 in most universities too).
You don't need CAS for any of that, honestly, it just rots your brain.

I think you could spend a few lessons here and there using CAS to explore those things though.

>we
>owns no hardware
Don't speak for your betters you piece of shit.
>>
It makes sense.
LLMs are designed to produce something that looks like something that is correct, not something necessarily correct.

So now they spit out large complex proofs that look correct so even their mistakes will look like something correct, creating overwhelming work for mathematicians trying to verify them.
>>
>>108971647
People are designed to produce things that they think are correct, not things that are necessarily correct. People also sometimes just lie and try and pretend that things they know are incorrect are correct.
This isn't anything specific to AI.
>>
>>108971669
That is true. The difference is that here is intentionality with people, not with the "AI". This means that if someone submits a proof, they either think it's correct or can trick someone into thinking so. For the AI, it makes no difference. This is why the flood is a problem. Not to mention the lack of accountability issue.

>>
>>108968101
Humans don't operate on pure logic like computers. We are more like a governed interiority that actively manages what is admitted into the conscious whole.

An AI has no governed interiority bounded by its thermodynamic processes. That is why it can hold so much logical data within its latent manifold and yet cannot be the one to say, "There is something undiscovered here that is worth investigating." It always requires a human's input first - a governed interiority that decides something is worthy of attention.

Good. The ultimate mission of humanity should be to leave the planet as soon as possible and explore the planets. AIGODS are winning desu. Maybe the elites can actually focus on that when labor is solved.
