Parent comment is claiming creativity and genius beyond human experts, so why not ask for a fully unassisted AI novel result? Having access to the entire corpus of human knowledge, what else such amazing entity would require to solve a hard problem by its own?

Any result of such kind from an AI alone would be enough to refute my argument, yet you don't present any.

>Also there are proofs where the only human steering was "keep going".

Which ones?

Do you even know what a proof entails? This shit is not a proof, come on.

What? The article states:

How is a formally verifiable proof not a proof? You're making literally no sense.
