A blueprint for the mathematical community

In four previous essays, I have argued that the mathematical community must address the crisis of AI-generated mathematics. Using billions of dollars and the collective labour of our community, AI companies have created frontier-level models which threaten to disrupt our scientific practice for the worse. If we embrace the use of this technology in our research, we should expect an explosion of slop mathematics, the exacerbation of all the worst aspects of the publish-or-perish model, and for our field to become financially and intellectually dependent on four companies. Alignment is a word…
