    So remembering is not thinking?

    Does it matter if we get more math problems solved?

      Yes, it obviously matters if we have more math problem solved because a lot of math problems directly apply to engineering which lets us build new and interesting things we couldn’t make before.

        Apologies, meant to be taken in the context of the headline:

        Does it matter that AI is remembering if on the whole we are getting problems solved faster?

          Oh I agree there, the end result is what matters. And I think we can view this in a similar way to a person using a calculator to crunch large numbers. It’s just a tool to help us think about bigger problems.
