It's looking to me like it's more of a slop PR problem than it is that these things are genius at math and will displace mathematicians. I am happy to be wrong but I strongly suspect the next few weeks to months will result in more and more of this work being exposed as slop.
These things are ok-ish to halfway decent at coding tasks with a ton of babysitting and still make tons of extremely simple errors almost constantly, why should math be any different?

1) AI is winning programming competitions, 2025 was probably the last year we've had human participant winning* 2) Math is different because there's formal verification.
* Of course competitive programming is different than enterprise programming, but competitive programming is closer to math.
My dislike lies in how it devalues skill + knowledge acquisition, disrupts art/software communities, and that it's now bloody impossible to tell the difference between someone who actually knows something from someone who merely regurgitates shit from their chatbot.
