My thoughts on The paradox of efficiency, AI and science by Terence Tao: The paradox of efficiency, AI and science by Terence Tao

Commentary

  • The paradox of efficiency, AI and science by Terence Tao
  • This is good thought provoking sentences.
  • The analogy of going on a trip but not travelling, that is the most counter-intuitive thing to say right? But that’s what is happening with AI in programming and mathematics. Since coding and maths are verifiable these two fields are churning with agents. Others are not quite testable and ready for agents yet. This makes sense right?
  • There is also a problem, that if we keep on using these models for doing all of the work, then who and what will train the next generation of scientists or mathematicians? or even developers. Nobody knows.
