I bet, some mathematicians were also complaining when the Abacus was introduced more than 4,000 years ago! 😊 Same old story!
Of course, machine learning and AI is coming to mathematics, the queen of sciences (according to a famous quote from Carl Friedrich Gauss). I am already curious what ML & AI will contribute to mathematics. Apparently, it has already provided some proofs to some very old mathematical problems.
It is probably safe to largely ignore these warnings!
"Few communities have felt that pressure more acutely than mathematicians, who have haplessly watched AI get frighteningly smart, frighteningly fast.
Today, 16 math specialists have turned that unease into a public cry for help—and call to action. Part warning, part manifesto, the 11-page Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics cautions that unchecked automation threatens not only how math is practiced, but what the discipline stands for. It also lays out principles for using AI in ways that support, rather than erode, the field. ..."
Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics "This declaration calls for action to address the challenges posed by the use of artificial intelligence within mathematics research. It is the result of a community initiative and is endorsed by the International Mathematical Union (IMU)."
