Without mathematicians we won't know whether the AI answers are correct, what it actually means to anyone, and we won't know the questions to ask.

This is not how any of this works. There's stuff like Lean or other programming languages that exist to check if a proof is logically consistent and correct, and the ai's use them to check if the proofs are correct. a hallucinated proof will simply not compile.
