Things are weirder than they seem on the surface.
A math professor collegue of mine calls extremely restrictive use of language ”rigor”, for example.

Independent thought? All relevant thought is highly dependent of other people and their thoughts.
That’s exactly why I bring this up. Having systems that teach people to think in a similar way enable us to build complex stuff and have a modern society.
That’s why it’s really weird to hear this ”people should think for themselves” criticism of AI. It’s a similar justification to antivaxxers saying you ”should do your own research”.
Surely there are better reasons to oppose AI?
Some of the more complex proofs might be wrong just because so few understand them, and the ones who do might have made mistakes.
Hell, I’ll trust a math result much more if it’s backed up by empirical evidence from eg. engineering or physics.
Don’t know if that counts as being ”in math” by OPs definition.
That’s what the wikipedia article might say but there are definitely studies on the long term effects of cannabis use: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=fi&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=long+term+effects+of+cannabis
There are very few cons, all the negative effects of cannabis can be better handled when it’s legal.
Yes? What the hell are you talking about
I truly do not understand this... it's a niche QA forum
What's their motivation to do this?
Yeah sure buddy.
Have you tried to shoehorn real life stuff into mathematical notation? It is restrictive. You have pre-defined strict boxes that don’t have blurry lines. Free form thoughts are a lot more flexible than that.
Consistency is restrictive. I don’t know why you take issue with that.
