@cine @allison @hakui I strongly disagree! I see the success of AI/ML as marking the end of "math" as a subject, insofar as it is defined to be 'the pursuit of human understanding of form.' The best articulation of this is http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html , which explains why taking away human insight has been the key to AI/ML progress, and why the people most disappointed by this have been the "mathematicians" with all their fancy ideas. I beg the whole world to read this essay
