Your quotation is attributed in the article to Bill Tutte, as his response to what shall do a mathematician when seeing computer-made mathematical proofs, “Be of good cheer. You can continue in the same general line of research" and that the first computer-made proof "is the tip of the iceberg, the thin end of the wedge and the first cuckoo of Spring".
For your information, in some European countries hearing a cuckoo was a traditional sign that the spring has come, in the ancient times when there were no meteorological prognoses, so like the other 2 comparisons it is appropriate for the first step of a progression.
I see nothing disgusting in this. It is just good advice that one should accept that computer-made proofs are here to stay and there will be more and more of them.
