The problem is not that we fear the AI will do maths we can do. At least that's not the problem. Whether the AI can write better code, devise better proofs, etc, I still want to do it. The thing that worries us (the generation trying to enter the job market now) is just our livelihood. Food, rent & accomodation while I do the work. "Who's gonna pay me, and for what ?". That's the question I want answered. And please, if the response is some demeaning work like reviewing the gigantic ball with 1% meaningful insight, 90% slop and 9% other people pillaged work that LLMs will be dumping at my door all day long, then society may need more mathematicians, software engineers, etc but no one is gonna risk going along that path.

Unfortunately that’s a question you’ll have to answer for yourself. Also, people are going to risk going along whatever path gives them work as many today already do.
