The Wrong Kind of Abundance?
AI-generated overview
OpenAI released 700 AI‑generated solutions to long‑standing math problems, including proofs in Lean. The Association for Human Mathematics criticized the use of an internal model, and mathematician Terence Tao warned that this surge of automated proofs could erode human mathematical insight and worsen the economy’s attention shortage. The article links this phenomenon to broader concerns about information overload and policy decision‑making.
