My first point is that I think you are overating 'interactive use' a bit here. Like Timothy already explains in the article, Were it a human he 'guided' in a similar way, he would not get credit for those achievements by any stretch of the imagination. And I think that's an important part of realizing why these sort of people are beginning to discuss these things.
Second. I didn't say anything about models being ready to replace mathematics wholesale. But should people really wait until that happens before discussing it? I know it's human nature to wait until the problem or situation is upon you but I don't think that would be prudent or wise. And even just for the sake of curiosity, it would be boring.
I think the matter of fact here is that in the last few months with the last few models, capabilities in this area have jumped to a very meaningful degree. It would be stranger if no one was talking about it.
