When proofs are creeping slowly into the petabyte or exabyte territory, at some point you will not be able to distinguish them from the complexity of Mother Nature herself.

Proof used to be a distillation of a complex phenomenon, or a complex logical tangle, into a smooth thread that one could follow and agree that, yes, this is obvious when you put it this way.

Sure, at some point computers will take over the work of doing proofs, just like in a different trade hammers took over fists, or wheels took over feet, or engines took over muscles, hearts and lungs. But at that point we will have to re-examine this concept of "proof".
