If you think the purpose of pure math is to provide employment and entertainment to mathematicians, this is a dark day.

If you believe the purpose of pure math is to shed light on patterns in nature, pave the way for the sciences, etc., this is fantastic news.

Well, 99% of pure math will never leave the domain of pure math so I'm really not sure what you are talking about.

We also seem to suffer these automation delusions right now.

I could see how AI could assist me with learning pure math but the idea AI is going to do pure math for me is just absurd.

Not only would I not know how to start, more importantly I have no interest in pure math. There will still be a huge time investment to get up to speed with doing anything with AI and pure math.

You have to know what questions to ask. People with domain knowledge seem to really be selling themselves short. I am not going to randomly stumble on a pure math problem prompt when I have no idea what I am doing.
