Feels like the big shift is AI becoming a conjecture-and-lemma generator, like a turbocharged collaborator that can surface patterns humans might miss, but the proof still has to be distilled into something checkable and maintainable by people. I’d treat it like QA in game dev, AI finds the weird edge cases fast, but shipping still means a clean, reproducible build of the argument.
