If I didn’t know David Harvey personally (though a decade removed) I would agree. I’m reconsidering my stance on AI lately and while I still find much of this disconcerting, I begrudgingly accept that his approach of "feed the paper into a different model and make it explain the technical bits until I fully understand it" is perhaps an increasingly valid approach to digesting mathematics. One needs to be incredibly principled in this practice. But that’s exactly how I’d describe David.
