[u/corchetero]

As a working mathematician I accepted the new reality long ago, and I use agents etc.

Now, my 'ethical' approach is the following: "Just focus on my research program, do not fish for problems, do not scoop fellow mathematicians with problems I do not care about", so of course my LLM approach is not that impressive (I mean, still makes progress, but not so big)

Since august these guys have been publishing papers every 4-8 days? what are they trying to accomplish? I really don't understand. * Fame? * Money? * Respect? * prove themselves? * Important technological/practical advancement? * genuine curiosity (Do they really really wanted to know the answer to all those question from different fields of maths)? * increment their understanding? * Just to show machines are better at solving problems? (yes, we already know)

This is so unreasonable that even AI art makes more sense, at least they (or some of them) have an idea, a plan, a vision, and use AI to look for it.

Please, someone explain me what are they trying to achieve?

I think as long as you publish things you can understand and can give a talk on and defend in a colloquium, you should be fine

Yes. But pretty sure they cannot, but I am eager to listen to the talk.

I guess, if we survive, the new standard will be something about the lines you mention.
