alt Hacker NewsIf training data are purely historical, then how does the AI look forward?
And if human mathematicians are drummed out of producing future training data, then can AI end up proving itself so much "eating the seed corn", only at scale?

This applies to all professions, not just mathematicians.
The most common answer I’ve heard so far is “well, AI will train on its own output… maybe”.
I don’t think that’s even possible.

Seems to me not impossible that given current knowledge, AI generate one nugget more of knowledge (eg a proof of Navier Stokes), and given current knowledge + the nugget, generate yet some more new knowledge.
Not a given, but not obviously impossible either.
