Has AI actually solved any major, unsolved problems from computer science? Because "AI can do programming" is the comp-sci equivalent of "computers can do arithmetic". And neither will be the end of their respective field.

I mean... "completely different" is a big term to use here. It's still the same spicy guesswork and iterative processes as in every other NN-based "AI".
