AI is great at reducing the search space and using human-like reasoning (in a brute-force way) to carry out the brute-force search. I'm not surprised by this result. This is exactly what AI should excel at, with human guidance.

"using human-like reasoning (in a brute-force way)"

that's self-contradictory -- what brute force means is doing an exhaustive search of a search space (brute forcing it)

using human-like(?) reasoning means cutting down the search space by having some sort of insight or intuition which allows you to prune branches from the entire tree
