The comment [A] continues:
"Crucially, this iteration would only work well at producing such insights if the iterator did not have access to the final [idea] in advance, as this naturally inhibits the exploration of alternate routes to the [idea] that are superficially «dead ends», but in fact end up being highly instructive in the nature of their failure"
Actually, the term #ansatz is used in [A][B] rather than my approximative simplification "[idea]" (e.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansatz)

3/ [A] also notes how now a scenario exists in which an autonomous #generativeAI "harness, backed by an enormous amount of computational resources, performs this entire iteration internally, and ends up producing the final ansatz [...] while the [ #genAI] company running the harness keeps the process to arrive at that ansatz almost completely out of public view. Technically, [a key problem ...] would now be solved; but there would be almost no value added to #mathematics as a consequence"
