"High school mathematicians"? Is that a term created by AI?

By the way, Google Assistant still struggles to set alarms and timers.

It will be interesting to see if they can take this symbolic engine approach further. Geometry problems are very neat and tidy, compared to using logic to solve real world problems. In particular I wonder if this could be some small step towards AGI.

What a weird time to be alive. What do we as humans do with our lives when all tasks can be done well by machines?

One of the things I'd like to do is explore complex geometry, just because i think its cool. Just because a machine is at the frontier doesn't stop me from deriving meaning from it, just like the existence of great artists shouldn't stop anyone from painting. The chance that you make it big enough to have significant impact on society has been pretty slim regardless even without ai.

The Culture series by Ian M. Banks dwells on this question somewhat. The answer, in a society not dominated by capitalism, is whatever we find meaningful.

Play games, write essays, explore the world, ask questions and find answers.
