Honestly this whole thing is so fucking weird. I feel like there's an argument that absolutely no one involved in the final crossing of the finish line to the proof actually did any work (other than just intelligently directing an LLM) and deserves any credit. As the author of this doc mentions, the mathematicians who did the actual work that led to the formulation of this approach (without the use of LLMs; just good ole' fashioned human intellect) are the ones who deserve the credit.

Imagine that a no name janitor used their time in the evenings to go spelunking through the literature to push an LLM to this result. No one would care because that person isn't an anointed expert. So why would the expert deserve any more credit? Because they sort of understand the result, even if they couldn't have achieved it on their own? The whole issue of credit for AI-assisted discoveries seems like it's going to run into a brick wall pretty soon.
