Maybe before we have AGI we should get an AI that can translate Andrew’s proof into Lean for us. Easily tractable, checkable, useful, and build-upon-able

Work is already underway in that direction:

but also

Terence Tao is doing a lot of work in this direction.
Kevin Buzzard is reportedly working on formalizing a modern proof of FLT. This effort has already managed to surface some unsound arguments in one of the prereqs for the proof (namely crystalline cohomology) https://xenaproject.wordpress.com/2024/12/11/fermats-last-th... though the issue has since been fixed.
