You might get the Riemann hypothesis robo-proven and unintelligibly dense. Would mathematic professionals trust it, or would they always be putting asterisks next to proofs downstream of it ?


We put asterisks next to proofs that use the axiom of choice. If a machine comes up with proof that’s not verifiable by humans, you can very well be sure that there will be asterisks.
