@letonyo We agree on the incompetent grad student part.

If Tao wants to join the bet Davis and I made with @ChrSzegedy on Szegedy’s side that would certainly be interesting. I bet he won’t once he reads it.

Difficult to tell who's right between Terry Tao and @GaryMarcus. Terry appears quite optimistic that AI might become very useful for maths in the near term. Gary not so much...
