Two metaphors for AI and existing mathematical knowledge
A post questions the “convex hull” analogy and suggests a subgroup generated by existing mathematical knowledge as another metaphor.

They stress that the subgroup comparison is a metaphor, not a claim that mathematical knowledge has a group structure.
