Machine isn't capable of informal proof
A machine isn't capable of informal proof in the human sense. No matter how informal a machine's reasoning may appear to be, it will still be grounded in a formal system; so its informal proof's also formalisable, and subject to the Gödel procedure.
John Lucas (1988).
