How could you possibly know if it has potential or not? Sounds like AI psychosis setting in.
I wrote a fancy polygon decomposition algorithm in university (pre-AI) which my professor didn't seem very impressed by because it was missing some sort of mathematical rigor. Yet everything I threw at it worked! Even he couldn't find a counter example.
It took a while for me to find some failing cases but it turned out they did exist.
But hey, maybe all I was missing is an AI-written lean proof.
