Amid the AI math proof debate, a curated set on proofs across generations

RexDouglass · x · 2026-09-20

Amid the ongoing debate over mathematical proofs and AI, DiracGhost recommends the article series "Mathematical Proofs Between Generations", highlighting pieces by Yuri Matiyasevich on formalizing mathematics and Hilbert's 10th problem, Efim Zelmanov on proof and progress from a research mathematician's perspective, and Benzmuller's "What is a Proof? And What Should it Be?" — useful background for thinking about whether AI can genuinely do mathematics.
