You are a demonstration that their marketing campaign is working. The reason OpenAI is focusing on math is because it is one of a very, very few domains where RLVR can be done at massive scale because large sets of problems with automatic verification can be produced and evaluated relatively cheaply. It has no value to OpenAI beyond marketing. It has negative value for mathematicians.
So far the only economically valuable activity that AI has really proven itself very capable in is coding - and its for the same reason of economical RLVR. It can do significant tasks completely end-to-end in that domain. It is very helpful in other types of tasks such as data analysis and legal research, but those things are not going to fulfill your expectations for broad economic impact.
There is simply no evidence at all for the broad claims of disruption in 1-2 years.
