I, for one, welcome our new artificial intelligence overlords :-).

To be fair, there have been  metamath efforts using artificial intelligence for 
years. Artificial intelligence has been involved in theorem proving for many 
many decades.

I don't think there's anything to be uncomfortable about. Humans still need to 
decide what the axioms are & what is worth proving.

Perhaps the lesson is that if we want certain conventions to be followed, we 
need to express them so that they can be automatically enforced. The 
"discouraged" marks, for example, can help do this. I think that is entirely in 
keeping with the overall approach of metamath.. everything to be explicit and 
automatically verified.
