Actually, the problem is, somehow the skill of building new theories in math is directly tied to slaving hard over a problem. It's the very experience of slaving away that actually somehow causes ideas to form. Pretty much all mathematicians understand this. Yes, senior mathematicians now can form some new theories, but what about junior ones who will have very little experience in working hard on a problem by hand?
Of course, they could work on the problem by hand anyway, but they won't because no one will pay them when a machine can do it.
