Cheap data and the absence of coincidences make maths an ideal testing ground for AI-assisted discovery — but only humans will be able to tell good conjectures from bad ones.
That’s because ChatGPT and the likes use machine learning to calculate odds of word combinations that make up a plausible sentence in a given context. There are scientific studies that postulate we’ll never have enough data to train those models properly, not to mention exponential energy consumption required. But this is not the only application of this technology.
Set to be revolutionized by AI because AI can’t do math.
Says my brother, a Math Professor that works with people trying to develop AI
AI is math, statistics specifically.
AI can’t count the number of letters in a word
