And if we genuinely believe that insight matters more than the bare answer, then we should apply that principle consistently.
We should not decide in advance that a solution is intellectually impoverished because it came from AI, nor assume that a slow human solution is inherently richer.
Inspect the mathematics. Identify the structures. Extract the mechanisms. See what new mathematics becomes possible.
That is how we should judge whether a solution has insight.
A good problem is not a non-renewable resource. It is an entrance.
