> The noise is suspicious because it's the difference between brute forcing and cognition. A human proof won't just be logically correct, it will be cognitively distilled and coherent. It may still take years to understand it, but the logical flow will be straightforward, not obfuscated.

This is basically how all AI approaches appear to work. They solve the problem you give them (in many cases) but in a very over-complicated way.

It's like they can't step back from the problem and realise that they need to simplify to make it work better. Nope, just keep hammering more code/proofs against the problem and eventually you'll hit the goal.

RL has a lot to answer for, I guess.
