Weeks After Kakeya Conjecture Won a Fields Medal, AI Produces Proof for All Dimensions

A quoted comment notes that weeks after someone won a Fields Medal for the 3D Kakeya conjecture, AI produced a proof for all dimensions. The original poster laments it was "the last human Fields Medal." A reply speculates it may be easier to generalize to n dimensions once 3D is solved.
