Also AI seem pretty good at constructive proofs.
Most of the breakthroughs so far have been finding counter examples. They can just search tirelessly to find one. Finding a good algorithm (maybe even one faster than people assume is possible) seems the obvious next step for them (as opposed to more conceptual proofs e.g. existance or non-existence where they still aren't quite terrifyingly good).
The phrase "for all we know some undergrad might find a counter example" is the new "it works for n<100 so I don't see why it won't continue indefinitely".
