Those were not really "proofs" by the standard of 1stproof. The only way an AI can possibly convince an unsympathetic peer reviewer that its proof is correct is to write it completely in a formal system like Lean. The so-called "proofs" done with GPT were half baked and required significant human input, hints, fixing after the fact etc. which is enough to disqualify them from this effort.

That wasn't my recollection. The individual who generated one of the proofs did a write-up for his methodology and it didn't involve a human correcting the model.
