Because every test I run with it is telling me so? The great thing about math is it can be externally validated.


Who makes the tests? Who runs the tests? And who evaluates that the tests have meaning? As long as it is the AI, or you (with your self-admitted limited experience), how can you be sure it is meaningful?


Yeah, but you're missing a gut intuition if something is off.

I wrote a fancy polygon decomposition algorithm in university (pre-AI) which my professor didn't seem very impressed by because it was missing some sort of mathematical rigor. Yet everything I threw at it worked! Even he couldn't find a counter example.

It took a while for me to find some failing cases but it turned out they did exist.

But hey, maybe all I was missing is an AI-written lean proof.
