Those few thousand mathematicians are now getting a taste of their own medicine. After all, it was people with extraordinary mathematical talent who developed machine learning and large language models, leaving hundreds of millions of people who earn their living through speaking, writing, or teaching worried about their future job prospects.
Still, I believe almost everyone will be fine. Perhaps AI will also prove good at coming up with new conjectures, and some mathematicians may shift towards applied mathematics or other sciences.
