It's amazing that you can predict a counterexample to an open math problem, all without thinking.

Yet they do.

    "They don't think, they only seem to think. And likewise, they won't replace the majority of human labor, they will only seem to do so."

Not really, a shitload of "open math problems" are bounded by constraints of simple text processing or heuristic search.

Much of math is just boring routine work.
