Sure, but that's a real technical limitation with current AIs, not something that AI firms should be blamed for. And if anything, this creates a viable career path for the mathematicians who were "scooped" wrt. the original solution: they can at least puzzle out what exactly the AI managed to do. Many practitioners are actually quite excited by this possibility; Tao's stance is by no means universally shared.
