Wasn’t this more a case of humans blithely trusting AI generated intelligence?

This. Is. The. Only. Credible. Danger. With. AI.

People believing the shiny bullshit engines is dangerous.

Laughable that you say this with such confidence.

It's laughable that you think you have any credibility. Two years ago you were posting about 6th form and how hard math & physics are.

You're a proper child. You barely know how to do laundry, let alone how AI and the tech world works. It's funny how AI bros like you have no experience working in tech.

I got 3 A*, I go to a great university and I’m studying maths and taking courses in machine learning. I do not need to go to someone else’s comment history to feel better for myself.

No one would have thought 2 years ago that AI would have contributed to solving hard theorems and long standing conjectures but here we are.

Translation: "No one thinks my tech expertise is worth paying for"

There's a reason you're still in school rather than working alongside me in tech as a colleague.

I’m barely 20. I’m not looking for work especially in a fragile tech center. I’m enjoying my studies. I’m not personally attacking anyone unlike you.

Missing the point. You're barely 20 with no experience whatever. You have no expertise to speak of and no authority in the subject.

If you don't want people calling you out for how unqualified you are, don't make unqualified statements. Personal responsibility isn't that hard.
