An interesting split in reactions by people who work in mathematics to the OpenAI release:

1. Reacting from the POV of the individual person: disappointment, disillusionment, and/or grief from those who've worked on some problem for years and now don't have something to work on; it's been a part of their identity. As well as those whose career tracks and plans were thrown in disarray.

I wholeheartedly sympathize with the above.

2. Reacting from the POV of the entirety of mathematics as a field of study/research:

  "If OpenAI wanted to destroy the mathematical community, this would be a great way to go about it."

  "...it will create conflict in the mathematical community;"

  "I feel that solving so many problems in such a short time may damage the math community and profession"

  "They can simply release multiple 100+ page papers claiming to have solved this or that problem, often with redundant arguments, ... — in other words, slop. And we are then expected to go through it, check it, clean it up, simplify it, and explain what is actually going on. This comes at a considerable cost to us ...And, of course, the credit remains theirs."

  "Open problems are a resource that the mathematical community developed over decades or even centuries"

What if a human dropped all of these without AI? I suspect there wouldn't be the same reaction for some reason.
