What I appreciated here is how calmly Tao separates useful pattern matching from actual mathematical understanding. There’s no AI hype or dismissal but just a reminder that proof, verification, and intuition are different things. It made me rethink where LLMs genuinely help vs where they just feel convincing. Thank you for sharing!
