To be honest, if a machine could prove the Riemann hypothesis and explain it to me, I wouldn't even care. I care about math because it's more of a way to express beauty and I find math interesting because it expresses the souls of those who create it. Just knowing the answer becomes boring after a while.

Most people are like that. Maybe 1% just care about pure answers.
