It would be nice to have more mathematicians, but we don't need more. Once AI math goes so far beyond human abilities, any human involvement is like an ant trying to understand quantum physics
I think a better analogy would be comparing to an ancient human instead of an ant. An ancient human would have none of the basic abstractions that we take for granted today like literacy and arithmetic, so it would be very difficult for them to even attempt trying to understand quantum mechanics. But I don't think it's impossible because our ability to learn by stacking abstractions is basically endless——so far as our health permits at least.
