Mine took 20min. Pro. https://chatgpt.com/share/69ed83b1-3704-8322-bcf2-322aa85d7a... But I wish I was math smart to know if it worked or not.

Ask it to formalize it in Lean.

  • If they aren't "smart enough" to know if it work they most likely are also unable to verify if the Lean formalization is indeed the one that matches the problem they were trying to solve.

    • Verifying that every step in a (potentially long) proof is sound can of course be much, much harder than verifying that a definition is correct. That's kind of the whole point.

  • That's great if it works. But it's way harder to produce a formal proof. So my expectation is that this will fail for most difficult problems, even when the non-formal proof is correct.
