I'm sure you could select for shorter proofs, but then that might be confounding in its own way. I think it's a general problem for LLMs that taste is both subjective and hard to pin down to a single metric. There's a reason mathematicians talk about elegance rather than brevity. Sometimes a long geometric proof with a simple algebraic alternative is still elegant, or elucidates the problem in a new way. | ||

Well, there are not that many proofs from 'The Book'. We are a bit ahead of time, currently I would settle for 'as easy to understand as possible' proof. Not a long, complicated, inpenetrable, mess, that Lean says is correct, but reading it provides no insight. | ||
