Let us know when it is clear that UCLA does not hire the candidate with the most top-tier journal papers.

It’s more likely that instead of spending a 100K/year direct grant on two PhD students, PIs will hire 1 and have the student spend 50K on AI.

More likely is that frontier labs give huge discounts of EDUs if they consent to allowing training.

Plus requiring attribution in papers.

		Maybe, but I suspect that AI in maths will soon become so prevalent that it's use will be assumed by readers whether there is attribution or not.

My understanding is that top tier math programs don't hire based on journal pubs and haven't for a bit. Math journals are pretty slow and hiring is really via reputation building based on one or two big wow ideas / proofs propogated via arxiv and talks.

		It’s just as unlikely that this will cease. hiring a professor at a top school because they were an excellent math teacher… It won’t happen.
