Mathematicians question their future as AI shakes the field

Original: Il est peut-être temps que j'arrête avec l'IA et les maths... Ca devait arriver : j'ai glissé Grothendieck dans une anal

A Le Monde piece on how mathematicians, unsettled by AI, are debating the future of their discipline is drawing attention among French-speaking science readers. The article explores how tools like artificial intelligence are changing mathematical research, prompting a commenter to joke about slipping a reference to Alexander Grothendieck into the analysis. The exchange reflects wider unease in the maths community about what AI means for human discovery.
