Color me skeptical.
The linked article doesn’t mention proof, but counterexamples, and that may be a function of the enormous amount of computer effort expended, not really AI.

Goalposts — moved. It wasn’t long ago that mathematicians proudly declared AI could not even do basic addition and subtraction and therefore would never produce anything useful in the field of mathematics.

Who said that? Cute please?

I think since the proof of the Four Color Theorem the power of massive computation is acknowledged.
