I'm not sure it matters that it had access to a theorem prover. The fact that it's possible to build a black box that solves hard proofs on its own at all is the fascinating bit. > it still took 8x as long to solve the problems as our best humans did without any computer assistance. Give it a year and that ratio will be reversed. At least. But also it matters less how long it takes if doubling the number of things reasoning at a best-human level is pronounced "ctrl-c, ctrl-v".
