Does one discover things, or invent them?
I just watched Andrew Wiles saying that no mathematician he knows thought about math as "inventing" things. "As a mathematician you just can't think that way" (paraphrasing).
As a computer scientist, I find this a bit peculiar. For example. We would say that the Quick Sort algorithm Was invented by Tony Hoare in 1959. This is the standard language.
I'm not trying to make deep philosophical point here, but surely intuitions differ. Who would say that Google Deepmind "discovered" transformers in 2017? Clearly linguistic intuition differs.
