Right. Before all the AI disruption, pure Math traditionally welcomed anyone who wanted to study its esoteric proofs, right? I remember all the excitement of the average Math enthusiast casually reading Wiles' proof over coffee.
Bottom line is, the relevant people can still understand the generated proofs. The disorienting part is they are a little slower than they'd like, but they'll get there.
AI is very helpful with understanding AI proofs. Agent swarms produce messy proofs overall but locally they are excellent and can teach anyone who wants to study them. No one controls math (in a material way funders do control an aspect of practicing math). Still, theorems are already true before we prove them. The difference a proof makes is whether it convinces the reader.
