Comes the day when the complexity goes beyond what the AI assistant can handle and it gives up. At that point, the proof codes complexity will for a long time have passed the threshold of being comprehensible for any human and there is no progress possible. Hard stop.
Using a proof language with an SMT solver is basically that: an inexplicable tick that it’s fine, until a small change is needed, the tick is gone, and nothing can say why.
