Generative AI's greatest advantage for ideation is visualization. It closes the implementation gap by turning abstractions into explorable explanations.

Generation is the default benchmark because it is easy to measure... And is "productive" (if that still has meaning) but inefficient.

Understanding is harder. The challenge is to build systems that make ideas more coherent, inspectable, and transferable.

Using Star Trek as a template, the question is whether we build more Vulcan-like technology, using intelligence to expand knowledge and insight, or scale Borg-like patterns of accumulation and assimilation.

Except you can't possibly know that. New insight can arise regardless of whether mathematicians are trying to prove or disprove a statement, and regardless of whether the statement ultimately turns out to be true or false.

TikZ, SVG, PNG, notebooks, code. These are all different ways of carrying "the same" idea, but each preserves different features. Today the user shuttles artifacts through representations and tools. MCP solves some of the plumbing, agents can call tools, but it doesn't solve representation-choice: what should be canonical, which conversions are lossy, or where edits can round-trip.

My favorite is the non-existent link to the GitHub despite the GitHub icon.
