As social commentary, I think a lot of people in this thread are expressing interest in and engaging with this level of math who might not have pre-AI.

I bet, for people who don't understand these problems or their solutions but are close and are now interested, AI makes then considerably more accessible than they would've been previously, and behind this big visible wave of results there actually will be (or already is) a wave of improved comprehension by a lot of curious people.

I'm not at all at this level at all, but I did learn quite a bit about polynomials over fields yesterday.
