This is only the "problem solving" side of mathematics. Completely missing the theory builders who have completely reshaped the world of mathematics (and far beyond). AI is a long way from matching original thinkers of the calibre of Euclid, Al-Khwarizmi, Newton, Leibniz, Euler, Galois, Riemann, Cantor, Hilbert, and Grothendieck. Or Turing, Gödel and Von Neumann?

According to Tao and Gowers there are AI results that did proofs in clever ways. That’s one way new theories come about.
