A Question Mathematicians Take Seriously Now

Two years ago, asking whether an AI could contribute to genuine mathematical research invited polite skepticism. That question has changed shape entirely. LLM mathematical research is no longer a fringe experiment. It sits at the center of active work involving Fields Medalists, DeepMind researchers, and open problem databases that have stood unsolved for decades. The honest question today is narrower and more interesting. Where exactly does this capability end?
