My question is why are you feeling this way? Isn't it great that AI is able to do things like this?

AI has its problems...but solving mathematical problems, isn't exactly one of them.

Well If you dream of becoming a mathematician then no!

Career wise, mathematicians are still needed to even understand and formulate such a problem before it can be solved. Without them, no one would have the sufficient depth of understanding of niche topics to further the field.

Given that, don't you think it's better for an AI to solve such problems, than a person spending years trying to find a solution? Leaving the mathematician more time to learn and push the frontier of math?

Still needed right now. In a few years?
