A.I. Is Coming for Mathematics, Too

For thousands of years, mathematicians have adapted
to the latest advances in logic and reasoning.
Are they ready for artificial intelligence?

"Step-by-step, a mathematician translates a proof into code;
then a software program checks whether the reasoning is correct."

Summary of the previous post in this  journal

"Step-by-step, an AI translates a theorem into ordinary language;
then a mathematician checks whether the reasoning is correct."

A check of today's New Yorker  penbots yields
an entertaining piece on pop culture by Sarah Larson:

Perhaps, in death's dream kingdom, there is some guidance from
the illustrator who reportedly did the book cover in the previous post
one Hector Garrido.  

"Operation Childlike Innocence, Phase One."

— Sarah Larson, quoted here  on Sept. 5, 2015.

Garrido's dies natalis  was reportedly 19 April, 2020.

by objects beautiful or odd, by a refrain, by a piece of cake,
or a buzz from your phone—is widespread.”
