Author here. No one's asking mathematicians to check the generated proof. I explain it in this part: https://overreacted.io/how-i-vibed-a-proof-of-conways-conjec...

The only thing that needs a check is this 500-line file: https://github.com/gaearon/conway-refinement/blob/264445c93b.... If this file is correct and Lean kernel is correct, the proof is correct.

Moverover, the version I linked above is intentionally paranoid so it doesn't use any third-party code except Mathlib. If you allow usage of CombinatorialGames and trust its definitions, the part that needs to be checked narrows down to exactly 20 lines of code: https://github.com/gaearon/conway-refinement/blob/264445c93b...
