No, mathematicians or whatever professionals aren't resisting AI just because of 'human value'. They are protecting their economic leverage
Professionals, including mathematicians, are resisting AI not due to abstract 'human value' but to protect their economic leverage and livelihoods. The integration of AI threatens their place in society, prompting them to fight for a share in the technology built on collective human work. They aim to secure their position in the evolving model, advocating for a human-plus-AI structure to avoid a bleak future where their contributions are devalued.
Why this oneThis report uniquely frames professional resistance to AI as an economic defense, unlike common narratives focusing on abstract 'human value'.

Discussion trend
The percentage is based on collected discussion signal, not new comments or independent people. The curve only compares the same topic across time.
People are resisting because this is literally their livelihood. What else are they supposed to do? Everyone will welcome AI with open hands if their place in society is already confirmed.
As it is right now, it's not. All the commoners are gonna be on the street at this rate. Utopia? Post scarcity? Meaningless concepts in a world with limited resources.
Just think about it, who will feed you after you lose your job? Democratic governments are only powerful because of the power the sheer collective holds. If labor is worthless, so is their elected representative.
Once the dust settles, there will be zero reason for those who control the production to use the resources to make things for the commoners. It doesn't require them to be evil masterminds either... it's as simple as: route resources to something that nets zero, or route it to some billionaire willing to pay good because their space factory needs that resource?
This is the time to act. We have to earn our place in the model. Demand a piece of the pie in the technology that's literally built on all of humanity's work, yours including, or try to keep together a version of the current structure (that is, human + AI, which is what professionals are currently fighting to keep). Otherwise, a bleak future is all that awaits.
