It’s a funny one. I’m not sure what a Lean-less LLM proof even is. LLMs are amazing at bullshitting and skipping key steps and details. I’d imagine a LLM non Lean proof to be generally hard to evaluate - harder than that of a human mathematician perhaps. And the scale effect is against OAI here - the firehose just keeps squeezing out proofs.
Technically,Godel showed you can make proofs say anything. all LEAN does is proof consistency. It does not validate the starting blocks.
