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?
The approximation of edit distance result [1] seems pretty readable to me, but the learn proof is still incomplete [2]. It's certainly much less readable than a good human written proof but it's certainly better than the last generation of AI proofs.
