> Job protectionism for elite mathematicians under guise of caring about student development.

Huh. Weird. This hasn't been my take of mathematicians at all. The dozens I know are quite humble and dedicated to math and the beauty one finds in it.

"guise" doesn't mean they don't care. It means they are shadowing their concerns when in reality they have concerns primarily about what AI will do to their success in math and the credit they will receive in the rest of their lifetime -- i.e. their legacy.

Again. Weird. Doesn't jive with my experience. One or two in the dozens I know, sure, but not enough to be a stereotype.
