LLMs are replacing human experts

in cases where the quality of the output doesn't matter

  • Or in the long term, no new experts are being made because no companies want to sponsor the slow work and resources that becoming an expert take

  • Are you aware of what frontier AI has done to mathematics in the last 6 months?

    • Lol no one cares. Most of that is smoke and mirrors anyways. Stokes was plagiarized. Most of these "breakthrough" solutions are actually present in the training data and in the prompts researchers and mathematicians input into ChatGPT themselves, prompts OpenAI then steals even when you don't agree to improve the model.

      PS: I use LLMs every day, basically let Codex write most of my code (after 15+ years of professional programming), these are amazing tools, smart in some ways, but completely demented in others. People just need to fucking stop being AI doomers and AI coomers. Is this technology great? Yes. Is it worth 10 trillion? Hell fucking no. If we get to a point where RSI is a thing, then maybe. So far it's not a thing and its not even close.

    • I suppose not. I am not a mathematician, and there has been too much drama to understand anything.
