Leonhard Euler discovered it. Who created it?

That's a beautiful, elegant, super-simple equation, but also a really deep rabbit hole of fascinating conceptual truth expressed in just a few symbols. Surely, just like what God's work should be.
This is NOT quite such a beautiful equation:
But it's used to this day, highly practically, for computers to calculate the value of pi. It's the most accurate equation known, though it looks so very clumsy, arbitrary and awkward.
Interestingly, it was written down without proof by the great Indian intuitive genius
Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-taught mathematician and devout Hindu who always claimed that his deep mathematical insights came from the goddess
Namagiri, to whom he prayed daily. (So maybe it's beautiful after all.

)
Back to the video, embedded below, this is all about whether the mathematical proofs published by OpenAI are 'beautiful' or not. One or two do seem to be: clever, elegant, concise, and relatively easy to understand. But others are described as
'sludge'.
OpenAI's Secret AI Wrote 722 Math Papers. Real Math or Sludge?
The 'sludge' reference came from this tweet, which quickly went viral in the math community:
Liron Shapira was saying that what OpenAI had come up with could NOT have been in the Mind of God. This is what many in the math community are talking about right now.
