> Think about a world where non-mathematicians leapfrog the field after a few AI prompts. It would be a world with more knowledge. But it might be a world with less understanding.

This seems like a good summary of the article, and I think the answer here is obvious.

So what?

News flash folks: we do not have the knowledge to survive on our own. If a solar flare deletes the electric grid, the first thing that happens is 8 billion people die in the next year.

We survive on abstractions others have built, and we have a global dependency web.

AI abstracting knowledge is neither new or dangerous; if it is dangerous, this certainly isnt the argument to prove it.
