I think it's pretty good evidence that Gowers' blog post fails miserably to either persuade or explain why the fundamental theorem of arithmetic isn't obviously true. Garbage in, garbage out, irrelevant of how good the machine is.

I think it's even better evidence that people didn't read the entire article. I'd even suggest that those who did read it, didn't "read like math" but instead "read like a novel".
