Unless I misunderstand, it sounds like you do agree? My point is that without human mathematicians LLM output is meaningless, and without human mathematicians holding the reins, LLMs would probably quickly devolve into “proving” things that are not only completely unintelligible by humans, but have no utility. Your examples of esoteric mathematical concepts are anecdata. The vast majority of esoteric mathematics does not have utility. Mathematics is an incredibly large space of concepts. Consider the number of provable theorems in number theory alone, perhaps even related to specific subsets and sequences of numbers. The vast majority of the findings in that domain will not be isomorphic to some real world problem, they will be trivia. We will need mathematicians to separate the signal from the noise. | ||
