I'd be very curious whether such junk lean code could be used to solve Kevin Buzzard's Jacobian challenge: https://gist.github.com/kbuzzard/778bc714030b3e974ab5f403878...

The idea behind the challenge to provide a few lines of human-written/checked scaffolding that defines an "API surface". The API surface is resistant to junk/slop filling out the sorry's. This is supposed to reduce the number of lines that humans have to read to only a handful, while the full valid AI-generated proof is tens of thousands of lines. The challenge was just solved a couple weeks, here's the discussion about it: https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/583336-Auto...
