I'm really impressed by mathematicians. It's cool that Fermat had the intuition to conjecture that "aⁿ + bⁿ = cⁿ" could not be satisfied for n > 2, and that other mathematicians can create proofs, and that others still can understand AI's formulation of those proofs. Really cool.

I wonder if AI can come up with mathematical conjectures. As in, they feel it's right but can't prove it. What even happened in Fermat's brain to sense it was true?

  • Right. Once we see AI start delivering on the creative & intuition side of things that's going to be awesome. Until then I guess we'll live with exhaustive exploration of problem spaces by orchestrating swarms of agents...?
