CHECKMATE


In early August, top mathematicians gathered at the offices of ChatGPT maker OpenAI in San Francisco for a summit on an existential question: What will be left for human math experts to do if artificial intelligence soon leaves them all behind? “I think there’s a chance that we end up in a world where there’s no high-quality mathematics research, and human expertise in mathematics is totally lost,” said Daniel Litt, a professor at the University of Toronto.” WAPO. 

I remember when an IBM super computer beat a Chess Grandmaster at his own game! Just because a computer beat a human doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be no high-quality math research and why do we need imperfect humans doing math slower, more expensively and less well than AI can? ANSWER: We don’t!

And that is all I’m going to say about that!
