I see he relies quite much on the "community" or "social" aspects of the discussion.

I probably have delusional expectation of what a mathematician of his level should be talking about, but I expected from him a pure objective analysis on what to do with this new AI thing , what are its limitations, how it can improve the field and the creation of human knowledge, etc.

I do believe it will accelerate the discovery of that "vast universe of mathematical depth that's beyond our ability" but at the cost of removing the "fun part" of solving the problems. Not sure if the community is willing to do that.
