I'll do my best to restate the problem. If AI does all the work, then we won't have people who can understand the math that AI's are creating.

This is the real problem as I see it and it extends to most technical work. I didn't see that as the main argument of the article.

I was objecting to the old guard defending their turf.

Academia needs to contend with this problem, and start addressing it right now. People are not going to be able to beat AIs at math. So whats the solution? PhDs will have to be able to show competence in new ways. Publishing and review of mathematical work will have to change. The genie is out of the bottle and there is no putting it back.
