That's a good question.

It is able to contribute code, but maybe not good code.

It's the same in math: it's able to solve problems, but not necessarily in a good way with a human readable code.

Math papers are a lot like software:

- theorems are like API

- lemmata like internal/private function API

- definitions are like types

- the proofs are the implementation

The proofs of ChatGPT are not necessarily readable or maintainable.
