To every proof, there is a corresponding program. This makes proofs expressible in a language made up of finite grammatical rules and terminal symbols. Knowledge accessible by proof is thus always a form of interpolating data whether made up by an AI model or a human mathematician. The people dismissing AI because of claims that it can only interpolate data don't have a good understanding of what it means to know something. Now of course not everything can be known via proof but for the sorts of things that we want to know via a computer this is a fine compromise.
