Just in time for the job to be replaced with AI.

Well, Terrence Tao is trying his very best to replace himself with an AI.

Which, admittedly, seems like a much harder problem.

A world in which AI churns out amazing proofs would be pretty radical though.

Terence is fascinating in how different his thinking is even from most other mathematicians.

I think he’s trying to replace his grad students so that he can solve even more interesting problems.
