The main character in "My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong as I Expected" is consistently portrayed as a character who hates math.

However, I feel uncomfortable with this characterization.

This protagonist can make precise relationships and even accurate predictions about the subsequent ramifications of the events he generates.

He uses a multivariate optimal solution method for human relationships, and for time variation, he uses an exponential function to imagine the human forgetting function, etc.

In other words, he hates math, even though he uses it all over his daily life.

This is a detrimental effect of the false assumption that the purpose of mathematics is to find the only solution.

I regret the design of these characters because I believe that the essence of mathematics is "Falmi Estimation."

I mean, in most animations, the character of the guy who "likes math" is a jerk or an enemy.

It is as if people who "love math" are portrayed as 'inferior/distorted in personality.'

I feel the world's ill will toward mathematics.

Earlier, I wrote the folloiwng in my journal,

"Against the child's "What on earth do I study for?" Adults must respond to this question."

One of the solutions to this, I think one of the answers to this question is that

"Studying mathematics can reduce the fear of new AI technologies."

I have been saying for a long time that the mathematics used in AI technology can be understood within the scope of high school mathematics.

I have not changed my opinion on this, even with the advent of generative AI.

In truth, there would be nothing to say if you could 'build your own simple AI core engine,' but that might be a bit too much.

However, it is more reassuring to think that you are governed by something you can understand (to a point) than to believe that you are governed by something you don't understand.

Perhaps you are caught up in the word 'domination'?

But humans are already controlled by machines, you know. You could even say that it's 'done'.

Already, we are dancing in the palms of our computers, from traffic lights to traffic jam information, vaccinations, to bullet train ticketing systems.

The only difference is that we humans are the ones who make and run the computers.

Studying mathematics reduces the phobia (fear) of these systems.

I wonder if the same could be said about AI technology, in my opinion.
