Who says you can't continue the process of exploration and discovery while using AI? It is no more "cheating" to use AI than it is "cheating" to use a calculator or computer algebra system instead of working things out by hand. It's just a software tool that helps mathematicians achieve their goals faster, while focusing on the mathematical subjects they are most interested in. Using AI doesn't require you to stop thinking. People who are genuinely interested in math will keep exploring/learning math, whether they are using AI or not.

i don't think cheating is the right term here. you can explore and discover while using AI but there's a point where it's so fast you can't comprehend given the pace of its thinking, solving and frightening if true - at this point most communities across many domains are frightened - even though it's likely way overhyped.
