What a stupid, anti-intellectualism take. Quite literally every single thing you use in your daily life is deeply ingrained in the research of mathematicians for literally thousands of years.
The list is so long I couldn't even begin to describe
No fucking way, I didn't realise. I was definitely talking about calculus.
20th century physics is heavily based off of abstract algebra (symmetry) and pretty much all of CS is based off of discrete mathematics.
Not sure what you're trying to say. Any time someone wants to actually make a system and not a pile of spaghetti or inactionable philosophy (for all that I love philosophy), they reach for mathematics in some way, shape, or form.
Also something I didn't know. We learn something new everyday and I certainly didn't study CS or anything. Also describes most of the research that gets funded these days.
In all seriousness, I don't think even AI hallucinates this much. We should genuinely be concerned for society.

GP said "most" not "all".
Not knowing that difference strikes me as much more <I'm not gonna repeat what you wrote>.
I agree with GP most Math is human slop. But to Math's favor, that slop is needed as once in a blue moon a great breakthrough comes off it. The slop is necessary groundwork.
The slop has been automated now, so AI will drive most Math research going forward.
Adapt or cope.
