If anything, that makes the case that math is fucked even stronger. Nobody had any idea of how to prove quasi-Riemann. OpenAI produced three proofs, one of which was just a lemma in solving another problem. They have a machine that is better than every human being alive at math that solves problems humans cannot even when working inefficiently.

Math was never only about deduction. It's also about data curation.

I was taking to my friend in OA who was really surprised that the proof of L(F_2) = L(F_3) could be done in the 1980s. We just didn't have a superhuman deducer back then.
