On the contrary proof assistants help one systematize and organize existing concepts. They are a great way to revise the basic curriculum and revolutize pedagogy. They make the creative process of defining new mathematical objects more accessible, and easier to motivate via unlocking more code reuse.

I strongly agree on this one. As a programmer and someone who's always been interested in mathematics, having a way to check proofs without relying on trust of my own logic or a third agent, but solely on a prover like Lean or Coq is a really big difference.
