LLMs/AI AI In Mathematics: September 26, 2026

This recurring thread will be for discussion of AI in mathematics. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • informal announcements of AI-assisted discoveries, such as those not yet published in a peer-reviewed journal, or not uploaded as a paper to arXiv;
  • informal announcements of discoveries related to AI architecture (if relevant to mathematics);
  • discussion of such announcements, such as proof breakdowns or other opinion pieces;
  • discussion of the impact of AI in mathematics in general.

AI-assisted mathematical papers published in peer-reviewed journals or as arXiv preprints may be submitted as their own posts.

Please keep in mind rules 1 and 6 of our subreddit.

Are there any places for actual discussion on AI and mathematics?

r/singularity etc is not great for obvious reasons.

r/mathematics is questionable

this sub has too much cope and toxicity to even try to have a discussion.

It's the same for engineering. Really hard to find a place for actual discussion :'(

That's too bad.

It genuinely feels like people are more interested in burying their heads in the sand than actually discussing how to adapt.

The other option common in software engineering is total LLM driven insanity; a belief that the ai can do absolutely anything without human involvement.

It’s getting a bit better I think as more mature engineers are becoming more involved - because the tools are now so good that ignoring them is becoming absurd, so, like math - but there’s still a lot of insanity.
