"After Math" seems premature. Maths is probably infinite meaning there will always be more to discover.
Regarding AI getting better than humans, in some ways it may be more like the invention of the microscope - instead of worrying about it reducing demand for people with good eyes it may open up new discoveries.
One example I'm kind of excited for is that I've long suspected that the inability to combine quantum mechanics with general relativity is because the maths gets too hard for humans. I mean Navier Stokes on singularities in fluid flow in euclidean space is hard enough. Particles may be singularities in quantum fields in relativistic space time which is probably mathematically far harder. But it would be interesting to know how that works.
