As others have said computers already help prove theorems like the four color theorem. It’s not that shocking that LLMs can prove a relative handful of obscure theorems. An alpha-theorem (neural net directed “brute force” search) type system will probably also be able to prove some theorems. There is no evidence today that there will be a massive breakthrough in math due to those systems let alone through LLM type systems. If LLMs were already a breakthrough in proving theorems, even for obscure minor theorems, there would be a massive increase in published papers due to publish or perish academic incentives. |
