“Mathematicians should find it quite striking that tech companies are suddenly interested in their work,” said Kevin Buzzard, a mathematician at Imperial College London, in a statement. “The Leiden Declaration is a well-thought-through response to what is currently happening, as AI continues to disrupt this space.”

The point here is that “AI” grifters are latching onto mathematics, not vice versa. In reality mathematicians invented computers, have been using them ever since, and realize that “AI” has never existed.
