Remember the days when you had to guess how much storage your database needed, and it would just break if you used too much.

This is an unwise statement that can only make people confused about what LLMs can or cannot do. Let me tell you something: Math is NOT about solving this kind of ad hoc optimization problems. Yeah, by scraping available data and then clustering it, LLMs can sometimes solve some very minor math problems. It's an achievement, and I applaud you for that. But let's be honest: this is NOT the REAL Math. Not by 10,000 miles. REAL Math is about concepts and ideas - things like "schemes" introduced by the great Alexander Grothendieck, who revolutionized algebraic geometry; the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem; or the Langlands Program, tying together Number Theory, Analysis, Geometry, and Quantum Physics. That's the REAL Math. Can LLMs do that? Of course not. So, please, STOP confusing people - especially, given the atrocious state of our math education. LLMs give us great tools, which I appreciate very much. Useful stuff! Go ahead and use them AS TOOLS (just as we use calculators to crunch numbers or cameras to render portraits and landscapes), an enhancement of human abilities, and STOP pretending that LLMs are somehow capable of replicating everything that human beings can do. In this one area, mathematics, LLMs are no match to human mathematicians. Period. Not to mention many other areas. Calling on my friend @ericweinstein and @GaryMarcus, who has been one of the few sane expert voices on these matters lately. 🙏 h/t @hellheff
