I feel like this rumbling can be summarized as "Ai is engineering, not math" - and suddenly a lot of things make sense

Why Ai field is so secretive? Because it's all trade secrets - and maybe soon to become patents. You don't give away precisely how semiconductor fabs work, only base research level of "this direction is promising"

Why everyone is pushed to add Ai in? Because that's where the money is, that's where the product is.

Why Ai needs results fast? Because it's production line, and you create and design stuff

Even the core distinction mentioned - that Ai is about "speculation and possibility" - that's all about tool experimenting and prototyping. It's all about building and constructing. Aka Engineering/Technology letters of STEM

I guess next step is to ask "what to do next?". IMO, math and Ai fields should realise the divide and slowly diverge, leaving each other alone on an arm's length. Just as engineers and programmers (not computer scientists) already do
