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

This makes no sense whatsoever.
We need more, because there will always be far more difficult problems yet to be discovered and solved, and that means, we certainly need expert humans to define and verify them.
If you cannot even explain the problem you are facing, not only you don't understand it, but you certainly would not be able to know if the AI solved your problem correctly.
>We were told in 2023 that there’d be no more jobs within months and the singularity was here.
I never recall hearing that other than from people strawmanning what the labs were saying.
It's the same as conservatives who tirelessly repeat "In 1995 they told us the world would be underwater by 2015, those climate scientists are full of shit" - no, no one ever said that, you just listen to grifters who only can strawman.
Actually it was mostly said by the bonkers AI-obsessed Redditors (for whom it seemed to be the absolute consensus), though the tech bro CEOs like to allude to it too. They just make it just vague enough to scare investors and governments but also be plausibly denied later when it turns out not to happen.
By the way, I don’t think climate denial has (or at least should, though I know Americans like to politicise everything under the sun) anything to do with ‘conservatism’.

And this will be true for how long? 3-4 months?

We were told in 2023 that there’d be no more jobs within months and the singularity was here. At some point you have to realise it’s not happening.
Let me know when the other (much harder) millennium problems get resolved, let alone explained in a satisfactory way.
