>So until we can comprehend it there really isn't much progress.

Not really? We are at a point if an AI today can solve it, it can be stepping stone of understanding something deeper to tomorrows AI and it continues. Sort of like our limitations doesn't matter. Obviously there are many scenarios in this recursive loop but saying it isn't much progress is not how I view this as

But who will ask the questions or direct further research when humans no longer understand the state of mathematics? Llms lack the drive for homeostasis combined with the evolutionary drive for survival and reproduction thus to direct themselves. They could very easily spend an eternity down a rabbit hole when the warp drive equation was fairly close on another branch.

If it changes how we think then yes it has an effect.
