For context for those outside of mathematics, Gowers is a preeminent mathematician who won a fields medal for his work in functional analysis. He has advocated and worked towards computer-generated mathematics for a long time, mostly along approaches roughly in line with this one. In particular, his interest in this topic predates the deep learning revolution (which I'll say began with alexnet, but wherever you date it the claim holds).
