Doesn't this make it seem like Wang had the wrong intuition, if her meyhod does not generalize? She proved Kakeya only in dimension 3, and also not prove the Hausdorff 3D Kakeya. In retrospect it seems humans were asking the wrong question, if a couple dozen pages long manuscript can subsume so many other efforts.

AI has only been able to advance the math frontier for a couple of months, fully grasping the applications, connections, and possible generalizations takes longer.
