If math is just about having a community of other mathematicians to hang out with, it still isn't a career. Nobody is paying money you need in order to to eat, just to hang out in a community.
Just like a software engineer, "Well AI can write all my projects now, but I have my local Rust Users Group to hang out with". Nobody is paying me to hang out and hand code Rust.
