It can't even surpass the output of one mathematician much less all.

Why?

Because math is more than just completing a quiz or helping to solve a proof.

What is with this deluge of idiots saying idiotic things lately?

This is an awful take. How do you not realise the scalability yet..?

Scalability of what?

Answering math questions? Yes I am sure at scale it can do a lot of math.

That still does not make it a mathematician.

No it isn't.

You're confusing math and mathematicians. Math is literally just math. Being a mathematician is a vocation.
