This isn’t about individuals. We safeguard knowledge institutionally. For instance, everyone should read this open letter from the top mathematicians on the planet, describing how we are about to undermine our mathematical understanding IDIOCRACY style. (I’m paraphrasing.)

Essentially, mathematical proofs are worthless without the communities that discover them. We care about math proofs because they create these communities (safeguarding knowledge for the next generation), not vice versa.

Having ChatGPT assert a proof we lack the expertise to check defeats the purpose. Not to mention, we already know it will get things wrong because of Gödel incompleteness so this whole situation is peak irony.

Having ChatGPT assert that something constitutes a proof, but lacking the mathematical acuity to check its work defeats the purpose. Not to mention, we already know it will get things wrong all the time because of Gödel incompleteness so this whole situation we’ve gotten ourselves into is sort of idiotic.
