I think the hand-wringing is a bit premature.

Some mathematicians (like SWEs) view AI as a boost to their ability to explore and understand possibilities - it is a great tool. Others see it as taking the soul out of what they do (loss of flow or craft). Most worry about losing their jobs.

I think for both mathematicians and SWEs, there is real loss for how we worked in the past, but I don't think job loss will be quite as severe as feared (and may actually increase). Because we still need, more than ever, people who understand the output and, more importantly, can ask the right questions.
