If someone were to solve one of the millenium prize problems using an end-to-end automated theorem prover, would they still win the prize?

The rules state that a prize will not be awarded if the person has not "made a major personal contribution to the understanding of the field of the problem". Simply generating a proof that may be too complex to be understood by humans would not really contribute to any understanding.

None of the millennium prize problems could be brute forced by a computer. You're barking up the wrong tree.

Wouldn't the theorem prover be a contribution?

Based on the current state of the art sure, but you don't know what kind of related theorems might be known in the future.

I hope not. If we have been able to prove so much shit by just using words and brainpower then using computers to write our proofs would make math 100% boring.

This also ties in with a professor of mine who says that the four color theorem remains unproven kek.

Making an end-to-end automated theorem prover to prove millenium problems would probably be harder than solving them directly

You realize one of them essentially was, right?

Why do undergrads post like this, completely just speaking out of their ass?
