Yup, that would totally threaten humanity — with math problems instead of "find images of crosswalks" style capchas to the poing where humans will jusy give up /s

Well, solving the math problems today will be breaking crypto tomorrow, then using it to rent a lot of compute with stolen money, using that to fine-tune itself on every genomic database out there, then use its new capabilities to fold some proteins in its mind, send some e-mails to some unsuspecting biolabs, and tomorrow we're all grey goo.

/s, maybe.
