This is literally the same thing as having the model write well factored, readable code. You can tell it to do things like avoid mixing abstraction levels within a function/proof, create interfaces (definitions/axioms) for useful ideas, etc. You can also work with it interactively (this is how I work with programming), so you can ask it to factor things in the way you prefer on the fly. | ||

>This is literally the same thing as No. >You can Not right now, right? I don't think current AI automated proofs are smart enough to introduce nontrivial abstractions. Anyway I think you're missing the point of parent's posts. Math is not proofs. Back then some time ago four color theorem "proof" was very controversial, because it was a computer assisted exhaustive check of every possibility, impossible to verify by a human. It didn't bring any insight. In general, on some level, proofs like not that important for mathematicians. I mean, for example, Riemann hypothesis or P?=NP proofs would be groundbreaking not because anyone has doubts that P=NP, but because we expect the proofs will be enlightening and will use some novel technique | ||
