I wish more people read Plato's work, or did shrooms. Both probably works.
replyProblem is learning math as a hobby doesn't put food on the table.
replyWhat did you mean to say by saying that in response to my comment? I am not sure I followed you
replyyeah but it's fun to discover things with your own brain
replyYou can still discover it for yourself even if AI discovered it first (or some other human, or an alien on another planet). It is fun to figure out how something works, in and of itself
replyAbsolutely. One of the best pieces of advice my PhD advisor gave me was that to really understand a particular result I would usually have to redo the proof of it myself (even after reading someone else's proof).
replythat's not nearly as exciting as uncovering something new first yourself, but I agree to some extent. Also that's not something you'll get paid for, it's basically coursework at that point.
replysure, and what you said is also not mutually exclusive to what OP said
replySo why should your children bother to learn math? Just have them prompt their AIs.
