Will Knight(@willknight):The A.I.-induced crisis in math is depressing because devalues one the most rarified areas of human thought. The great @terrence_tao suggests that mathematicians may find creative new ways to use A.I. that advances their field. "They will increasingly work in large groups collaborating on once-unimagined projects." I hope he's right, but the obvious question is: will A.I. companies simply then train their algorithms to do the same thing?
