I would argue that novel and/or valuable results are not necessarily interesting!

I (a human) am interested in things that are applicable to my realm of understanding, but I see a very plausible future where novel and/or valuable results leave that realm.

I'd further argue that's already the case for most math for most humans. What's interesting to Terrance Tao is rarely of immediate interesting to me.
