Because just because the AI comes up with an answer in its own fashion doesn't mean it's the right answer.

There is no limitation on time frame in the class chat we're having. If a AI can make an answer on it's own, how would we know it is wrong, unless we do the calculations ourselves, and then what's the point of having the AI doing it? This assumes we are using an AI to get to answers we haven't figured out yet.

Insight into the human brain and it's process is one goal of artificial intelligence (I forget who to refer to for that one). The self-problem -solving sort (so to speak) doesn't help in that regard because we can't see the path the AI takes.

On the efficiency, the fact that I'm sitting in front of a piece of technology that serves solely to amuse me would seem to argue against that, especially as I spent more money on a bigger and shinier one whose sole purpose is to amuse me with bigger and shinier version of the same things as the last one.
