[Link to full essay on Substack]: https://munozmd.substack.com/p/no-humanity-in-math-is-not-dead-and I was never actually interested at first to write this piece but I was moved by Sir Kirwan Hampshire’s “The Dark Night of Mathematics” on Substack regarding the future of mathematicians following AIs continuously proving conjectures. It felt like a calling to enlighten amidst the dread and I’m sure we aren’t the only ones resonating with it. Thousands of us may be secretly worrying for what our role means for us now. I did have my fair share of worries here too, but in this piece, I shared the perspectives that worked for me (and hopefully to my fellow mathematicians too) where the dread no longer bothered me. This is the first of a 3-part series I am planning to create.
