Once you get past trivial problems, the issue is not just "solving the problem" but proving the solution "solves the problem".
This is the strongest argument as to why AI should only be used as small solvers (at this point).
Yeah, it's about incentives. Software development is about solving business problems, but sometimes the solution is "use this thing that already exists instead of paying me to build it."
Similarly, the incentive is to design it so you will need to spend 10 years working on it, instead of 10 hours.
