   The first field field has fallen to AI.

   I wasn't convinced until the mathematics community started responding, openly, with severe distress.

   What will be next?

      What if I told you that... Most math research was useless anyway. AI is going to expose a lot of grift.

         What a stupid, anti-intellectualism take. Quite literally every single thing you use in your daily life is deeply ingrained in the research of mathematicians for literally thousands of years.

         The list is so long I couldn't even begin to describe

            GP said "most" not "all".

            Not knowing that difference strikes me as much more <I'm not gonna repeat what you wrote>.

            I agree with GP most Math is human slop. But to Math's favor, that slop is needed as once in a blue moon a great breakthrough comes off it. The slop is necessary groundwork.

            The slop has been automated now, so AI will drive most Math research going forward.

            Adapt or cope.
