This is making mathematics too systematic and mechanical, and it kills the joy of it....

These takes are ridiculous - if AI is killing the joy of something for you then you need to look inside, not outside, for the problem. I'm an ex-mathematician and this stuff excites the hell out of me.

It's killing the joy in everything else, so why not?

At least we can all wait tables and sell crap at convenience stores when it takes over our jobs.

  • You're giving examples of difficult and boring jobs while there will surely still be fun jobs to be done like plumbing, dangerous construction work or prostitution

this comment reminds me of that Feynman quote about others thinking scientific knowledge removes the beauty from a flower. of course Feynman disagreed

  • Feynman isn't a god and he didn't conceive of AI.

    • Von Neumann pretty much was a god, and even as early as 1945, he was explicitly assuming that neural models were how things in the computing business would eventually shake out.

      The rest of us are just a little slow to catch up, is all.
