It is not the same because the act of problem solving for discovery is now to be done exclusively by machines, as humans are no longer remotely competitive.

If you read the linked article, the author goes into more detail about how doing mathematics also has been an act of communication with past and present human mathematicians. This is very much true when math and science are done by millions of human researchers, but not so when it is done by massive swarms of agents at a couple labs.

I am sure science and math will benefit in the sense of solving more problems than ever before. But you are not really understanding the agony of the humans caught in the change.
