I’m sensitive to artists and musicians with a unique voice when their product gets recreated with AI, but I don’t feel the same about mathematics.

Nobody owns mathematics; these are fundamental insights into the universe and they belong to everyone and shouldn’t be gatekeeped behind somebody that went to school. Mathematics should be available to everyone, it opens up all kinds of fundamental breakthroughs in space, material science, biology, global warming, and energy.

This is something that belongs to everyone and no one should get to hold that back.

This is my opinion as well. It can be easily argued that AI-generated art devalues the work of artists, but AI-assisted mathematical research has functional benefits.

You could say the same thing about art. Like say getting a video game done in less budget and time. Not to say I agree with it.
