One side says checking a proof for flaws is only part of review; the other emphasizes that “interestingness” still matters in some fields. The exchange frames a broader debate about what counts as good work when AI tools are involved: simply being correct may not be enough if the output is not novel, useful, or worth reviewing in the first place.
