Terence Tao
Fields Medal winner and UCLA professor, prolific advocate for formal mathematics and collaborative proof projects.
“Terence Tao said the devouring of math by AI prefigured a 'general threat to intellectual work'.”
“Terry Tao also failed on it. And the nature of it is basically that people were very mad at the problem because they called it a troll problem.”
