The End of Mathematics: A Mathematician's Warning

In this personal account, mathematician Daniel Litt imagines a future where AI becomes superhuman at mathematics, yet progress stalls. He describes how AI-driven output explodes while human engagement declines, leading to duplicative work, eroded trust, and a profession disconnected from the mathematics it produces. Litt argues that current incentives misprice AI-generated results and warns that without adaptation, mathematical practice may become unsustainable.
