The Dark Night of Mathematics: AI's Threat to Human Discovery

I am facing a profound spiritual crisis as LLMs generate counterexamples to long-standing conjectures, rendering human mathematical discovery obsolete. While some argue we can still appreciate proofs, the vital experience of creating novel mathematics—the path to the ineffable—is being sealed off. This shift turns mathematicians into helpless spectators, stripping the discipline of its heroic, mystical soul.
