I think the point was that it's not a machine.

Stuff that we can deduce in math with common sense, geometric intuition, etc. can be incredibly difficult to formalize so that a machine can do it.

"...etc. can be incredibly difficult to formalize so that a machine can do it." ?

1. do it = search for a proof

2. do it = verify a purported proof?
