That is what will happen though to future generations: they won't be able to use it for anything because none of them will have the "decades of coding" experience that you have had the privelege to have without AI.

They will have decades of experience with AI and they will be able to guide them by sniffing their hallucinations from single words.
Hopefully in decades hallucinations will be largely solved.
Hallucinations are an essential feature of the technology, they cannot be "solved". You may as well hope that we solve the halting problem.
its just as likely hallucinations will only get worse because their source data will be riddled with hallucinations
You can't hallucinate a working lean proof.
But you can hallucinate everything else.
You absolutely can. How do you know your "working lean proof" actually proves the theorem you intended it to?
One of the concerns of the new LLM made lean proofs is ensuring they are using standard MathLib formulations in the theorem, so (quoting something in I longer recall the source of) a Grothendieck scheme is indeed what the reader and world know as a Grothendieck scheme.
You read the stated theorem?
