Where is the value in an unintelligible gibberish proof?

We already have countless examples of such filling up the arXiv, written by hacks long before LLMs started writing proofs. No one cares about them. You might as well build a box blasting radio static into the void. You could save a lot of electricity that way.

An unintelligible but correct proof is better than no proof. These first AI proofs may be overly complex and un-elegant, but they are the worst that frontier math proofs will ever be. AI math in 2030 will be leaps and bounds ahead of humans both in rigor and elegance.

		Those are some strong claims. I’m deeply skeptical of all of them. I believe Terry Tao when he says the bottleneck will no longer be the writing of proofs, it’ll be everything else: reading them, reviewing, publishing, and teaching from them. A bunch of proofs that nobody reads are of no use to anyone.
