The use of AI in generating mathematical proofs is being compared to traditional search algorithms. One perspective suggests this AI-driven proof generation could be viewed as a form of computational search, a technique that has been employed in areas like Prolog for decades. This raises questions about whether AI represents a fundamentally new approach or an evolution of existing computational methods in mathematics. AI
