Watching people who have built their entire identity around being untouchably smart suddenly be confronted with the future that children will be able to solve the equivalent of millenium prize level math in an afternoon for 5$ is enjoyable.
What a shallow midwit reductionist take. This is no different than people who claim that artists are only mad because AI has made everyone world class “artists”.
It'd be naive to suspect that this isn't part of the backlash. Artists and musicians are indulging a will-to-power impulse just like the rest of us. Nobody likes to lose power, or to see their own influence diluted.

Art is entertainment. It has no functional value.
The simple fact that you're comparing art to mathematics is making my point for me.
Entertainment has no functional value for humans?
Or at least tell me the functional value of Fermat’s last theorem.
Art doesn't move cargo faster, or save me time analyzing a dataset.
You can make the argument that "high" math has no function value which is fair.
But I would not agree.

That should not be downvoted..this is true for manu people on this forum too.
But we have the same examples in chess, running, bodybuilding etc..all of which machines have out performed us.
And that good for humans are finding their true natural again, an intelligent consciousness animals. We take pride in that.
Let's allow robots at the Olympics and laugh at the poor athletes losing! /s
There is nothing wrong with the desire to be smart, actually succeeding at being smart, and then expecting some recognition for that achievement.
Or another way.
I enjoy seeing the fastest human on earth run.
But I'm still getting in my car to go to the shop.
I actually love the analogy that mathematicians will be the equivalent of olympic athletes.
Nobody needs to throw a rock far, or run fast, nobody gets any value except entertainment.
I think your own analogy is actually much worse than my point.
