Also, it's one thing if the AI age means we all have to adopt to using AI as a tool, another thing entirely if it means the only people who can do useful research are the ones with huge budgets.

Your logic undoes your point, because the kid who "solved" this technically didn't even have to invest in a degree.

America should fund tertiary education better, and that would solve even more problems.

		Getting off-topic, but as a successful high-school dropout I am compelled to remind anyone reading this that [the American] college [system] is a scam. That's not to say that there aren't benefits to tertiary education, for many people in different contexts. It's just not the golden path that it's made out to be. Many people currently in college are just wasting their money and should enroll in trades programs instead. Meanwhile, nothing about being in or out of school is mutually exclusive to using LLMs as a force multiplier for learning - or solving math problems, apparently.
