One thing I don't yet understand and would appreciate an opinion from a professional mathematician is: are we okay with mathematicians that outsource the discovery of new theorems to AI while providing verification services themselves?
For instance, imagine a mathematical institute that hires reasonably competent mathematicians who are amazing AI prompters but lack mathematical creativity or "genius". All they produce are mathematical papers with clear proofs and explanations. Very human readable stuff. But the catch is that they are not discovering any of it. All they are doing is "translating" full AI discoveries into a format others can understand.

Is that acceptable?
