There are people doing this already. For Lean, an example is https://morph.so/blog/the-personal-ai-proof-engineer/

If I understand this correctly, they want to use an AI model for "autoformalization", which sounds like "using a language model to translate natural language proofs into Lean proofs". Which is cool but much less ambitious than the self-train system I described above. I guess AI technology isn't yet far enough to make such a proposal work.

Given a billion dollars or so, I guess one moght get pretty far. The roadblock might be more that nobody is seeing a lot of market potential.
