Exponential progress. Hard to wrap your mind around.

An analogy: If it takes 20 years to create AGI equivalent to the village idiot. It take another couple of hours to go from that to Einstein.

I don't disagree, as in that if we achieve school math in a way that is not mere overfitting over a language-based training set, going to more advanced mathematics is definitely conceivable. My problem is that people are talking about solving unsolved conjectures while we are not even in a point where we know how to tackle math at all.

Imo we are not currently in the beginning of an exponential curve re solving math with AI, and def not on the path of AGI. I understand that if one believes that we are on the path to AGI soon then we shall have these math-AI advancements quite soon, but I disagree with the premise.
