Tao refers to AI's current state as "mediocre, but not completely incompetent" describing it as a tool that assists mathematicians in refining their hypotheses.
Despite advances, Tao asserts that AI lacks creativity; it serves more as a facilitator than an equal partner in mathematical endeavors, emphasizing the need for human intuition.
The emergence of OpenAI's o1 models indicates a shift towards AI capable of problem-solving akin to human reasoning, potentially revolutionizing the field of mathematics.
Tao envisions a future where AI could enhance productivity in mathematics, allowing researchers to focus on deeper theoretical questions rather than tedious calculations.
