This whole process worked about 10 times faster than doing it without GPT.

In the thread “AI has a multiplying effect on existing technical skills”

Helped: Generating easy theorems, LaTeX proofs, and verification code.

Got in the way: Could not bound a particular expression, requiring manual derivation.

… This worked very well, but at one point I could not bound a particular expression and I was not understanding it well, so I got out the pencil and paper and redid the derivation myself which helped a lot. This whole process worked about 10 times faster than doing it without GPT. At the end of a couple of hours I had around 20 pages of correct proofs and all the code needed to do numerical simulations related to the proofs.
