Terence Tao's blog hosts a guest post asking why we still need human mathematicians in the AI era
What happened
这篇文章是数学家罗博深在陶哲轩博客上发的，起因是 OpenAI 解出了纳维-斯托克斯千禧年大奖难题，数学圈炸了锅，各种宣言和公开信满天飞。罗博深没跟着喊口号，而是从“人类应该帮助人类繁荣”这个公理出发，推了一套逻辑：如果 AI 继续变强，它创造出来需要人干的活，会比能干活的人还多，多到 AI 的进步反而会被拖慢。这个结论反直觉，而且他声明适用于所有行业...

Po-Shen Loh guest-posts on Terence Tao's blog, starting from the axiom 'we should help humanity flourish' and reaching a counterintuitive conclusion: as AI advances, it creates more human jobs than people can fill, which will eventually force AI progress to slow. The piece responds to the wave of declarations and open letters from mathematicians after OpenAI solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem, and names economists like Cowen and Gans who pushed back. Loh argues any industry wanting to stay human-led should adopt this axiom publicly. The post does not provide a quantitative model or timeline; it is a position argument.
