AI-assisted math results and the struggle to understand them
A commenter says AI math papers lack figures and offer only summarized reasoning traces, making their results harder to understand.
TLDR
One post doubts mathematics will return to its old ways. Quoting it, another writer says Lean compiles and human-agent work can improve bounds, yet the resulting papers can be difficult to understand: they lack figures, summarize reasoning traces and contain labyrinthine references. The writer argues that bigger gains will come from shared understanding between people and AI, not just more compute aimed at open problems.
