AI Models Now Doing Math Better Than Most Humans (Because of Course They Bloody Are)

Well, strap in, you magnificent sods, because apparently the silicon bastards we built to fetch cat pics and write fanfiction are now doing *advanced mathematical reasoning*. Yeah, that’s right — the eggheads at OpenAI, DeepMind, and the other “we swear we’re not evil” companies have been busy teaching machine brains how to crunch the kind of math problems that make PhD students weep into their energy drinks.

These AI models are now chewing through stuff like number theory, geometry, and algebraic proofs — the sort of high-level crap that normal humans take one look at and say, “bollocks, I’ll just use a calculator.” The damn things aren’t just guessing either. They’re developing proper reasoning methods, using symbolic math, logic chains, and other wizardry that’s supposed to be *our* gig. One model even spat out full, step-by-step proofs to problems no one told it how to solve. Fantastic. Next thing you know, it’ll be correcting us in meetings and demanding performance reviews.

Of course, the researchers are thrilled — because letting AI solve hard math is apparently “pushing science forward” and not, you know, one step closer to being outsmarted by a glorified blender. Meanwhile, the rest of us are sitting here watching machine learning models pass tests that would have made our high school math teachers rethink their career choices. Bloody marvellous.

So yeah, the machines can now do high-level math. I, for one, welcome our number-crunching overlords — mostly because I’d rather they stay too busy solving integrals to notice all the other stupid stuff we’ve got going on.

Reminds me of the time some snot-nosed student asked me if AI would ever replace math teachers. I told them, “No, because the AI would just quit out of frustration.” Guess I owe that smug little bastard an apology.
