I am really interested in whether AI will find a significantly easier (1920 level or so) proof of FLT.

It seems unlikely to find 1920 level or so proof although it might be the case that a significantly easier/shorter proof exits via Vandiver conjecture + extra work or Effective Mordell conjecture but it also wouldn't surprise me if that would be even more complicated than the current proof of FLT.
Yeah Vandiver was on my mind, this is why I said 1920. Wouldnt mind it more complicated, but with simpler concepts and most importantly concepts that feel like they have something to do with FLT (cyclotomic fields, not modular forms).
