As a former mathematician, I'm not impressed at all. I don't even care about the solution. I think an integral part of math is what the human mind can do, and if AI was required, then to me it's not impressive at all.
I never cared about merely solving problems. I care about the beauty that one can construct from the human mind, and that was the entire point, at least for me, to practise math. To me, what mathematicians have done with AI and Navier Stokes is worthless.

the result of this originates from the beauty of the human mind, even if the tool used blinds you to the (very human) conquering of a long standing problem.
Even horrible acts can originate from good intentions and places of beauty. The tool use does not blind me but reveals the stupidity of merely solving problems for the sake of solving them. Only your love and addiction to technology blinds you.

I used to think of mathematicians as generally level headed people, I am having to re-evaluate my viewpoint.
