>> If that's true, if we're really at that level of autonomous mathematical reasoning ability, then we should see hundreds, even thousands, of open problems suddenly solved in a matter of years if not months.
Stressing "hundreds, even thousands".
Google released a paper about solving 9 more Erdos problems for an average of $100 each:

In a year I think we'll probably have seen hundreds of open problems solved, even if there is some a low hanging fruit exhausiton bottleneck.
I think it is important to temper expectations in light of the fact that these announcements are coming from a startup company with shady values looking to imminently IPO, and thus represent the most biased and misleading take of the situation possible.
