Anyone else feel like mathematics is sort of the endgame? I.e., once ML can do it better than humans, that’s basically it?

Yes, because if AI can do maths then it can use that to improve the efficiency/quality of it's algorithms to self improve...

The quality of AI algorithms is not based on formal mathematics at all. (For example, I'm unaware of even one theorem relevant to going from GPT-1 to GPT-4.) Possibly in the future it'll be otherwise though.
