Ethan Mollick says it is reasonable for mathematicians to note that proofs are not always the same as advancing mathematics. He argues this calls for new goals for what math is trying to do. He adds that AI-driven increases in output, such as 100x more PowerPoint or code, do not automatically mean progress.

Same thing will happen everywhere. 100x more PowerPoint or code is not always progress - what is?
