When integrated with tools such as formal proof verifiers, internet search, and symbolic math packages, I expect, say, 2026-level AI, when used properly, will be a trustworthy co-author in mathematical research, and in many other fields as well.
for 2026
Resolves YES if a real professional mathematician claims this happened for them, unless consensus of other experts is that it didn't happen

@jacksonpolack that makes sense. I was referring to the use of 2026 in the quote by Terrence Tao which claims that this will happen in 2026. But < 2026 is also a very valid and interesting question.
