LLM's may have provided a bit of comeuppance. Many mathematicians have cared little if anyone understands their obscure nomenclature and build mote around their work. Now they have encountered something that is becoming far more capable than they are and they may soon be left in the dark.

I don't get it. Do you feel good or bad about that? Is that the way you tell you're empathetic to the author?

What made you realize you'd never amount to a decent mathematician?

For me, it was a course in Real Analysis haha
