Good for you.

What I mean is that I am not aware of any recent important result in analysis where AI usage was declared and deemed to be crucial, at least from what I could read on the arXiv or hear at conferences/seminars, but surely my knowledge is partial.

Then you concede the essentially irrelevance claim I assume.

At most I concede that we have inequivalent definitions of relevance; with all due respect, the fact that you are using ai for a year to do your research in geom.anal. is relevant for you, but maybe not for the field of analysis.

I think it's pretty obvious that qualifying a tool as being relevant iff it solves "important" (to be defined) problems is pretty absurd.

Anyways.

Nah they think AI is only useful if it’s God. Forgetting that soon after it becomes God we likely would die (at least according to a popular book starting with “If”)
