The author discusses OpenAI's announcement of solving ten open mathematical problems with an unreleased AI model, and systematically addresses common arguments people use to downplay AI's impact on mathematics. The piece argues that human intuition, teaching, curation, and learning will all be surpassed by AI in mathematics.
Background
OpenAI recently announced that an unreleased AI model solved ten open problems in mathematics, sparking debate about AI's growing role in mathematical research. This follows a broader trend of AI systems increasingly tackling advanced scientific and mathematical challenges.
