The other crucial part to this is the ability to actually encode and test the theorem (via Lean). Otherwise, we would be swarmed with a billion lines of theorems that no one will be able to ever understand and verify anyway.
A majority of these proofs have not been formally verified yet, I think people are overstating how important lean is to the success of LLMs in mathematics.
A paper and a lean proof are always going to be better than just a paper. I think mathematicians generally will not read AI math papers that haven't already been verified, especially since we're about to see a ton more AI math papers. Lean will remain important
Are there any AI generated proofs that are simple enough to be verified quickly by a human, that have not been lean verified? Or are they all basically incomprehensible?

If you think AI-generated Lean proofs are unreadable, imagine Opus 5 generating informal proofs.
I think OP is saying Lean does indeed help.

whoosh
Opus 5 is ancient history now. Move on.
Yeah! They forgot to put a .5 after it! What an idiot! Just imagine if they would have written a 4!?!? We may have had to ban them from the website entirely.
