I edited my comment just as you answered, but I'll also say it here in a different way.

The actual conditional result was "if problem A is essentially this difficult, problem B is essentially that difficult". A specific formulation of it was proven, but it depended on a specific assumption that was just shown false. But the general result is still probably valid, because the general assumption holds. But there may be no point in going through the effort of proving another specific formulation, when the automatic theorem factory could just come up with another technical improvement targeting that formulation.

I started in theoretical computer science, but I quickly drifted to more applied areas, because I was annoyed with how often theoreticians would confuse the map for the territory. But if AI can now do that much more efficiently than any human, perhaps theoreticians will have to rethink how much they should focus on specific provable statements.
