Your list is cherry picked from the list of "potential threats" to the values of the mathematical research community identified by this document. They aren't criticisms or absolute statements, they're literally a list of potential new problems for the future of mathematical research, and they all seem reasonable to me, if not all at the same levels of magnitude or plausibility.

Notably you don't seem to be looking at either the list of identified values or their recommendations to researchers in their use of LLMs, which would seem much more important to engage with in any non-shallow dismissal of the document as "feel[ing] like gate keeping and resistance to change".

It's also kind of a bad look (and actively harmful for discourse) for people working on AI to be so dismissive of fields actively engaging with how their field is changing due to AI. I haven't seen any other field engaging this actively with its possible futures, have you? Usually we seem to only get some extreme of over-hyped utopia, doomerism, or dismissal of everything as slop.
