The kind of humans who invent entire fields of science on their own come by a few times a generation. It’s fine to say AI isn’t anywhere as close to them in intelligence, but instead is comparable to the “average” mathematician who is building on the work done by others and taking it a bit further.

Yeah, thats likely true to some extent. But my point is perhaps a "counter-thought" to the idea that this is ASI level intelligence and that math is now a computer task and not a human one. If it is incapable of moving maths forwards into the "unknown" it simply can not replace humans, and this might be a hard structural block for LLM's.
