IMHO that's the key differentiator. You can give a human PhD an _unsolved problem_ in field adjacent to their expertise and expect some reasonable resolution.

That said humans can also be really bad problem solvers. If you don't care about solving the problem and only want to create paperwork for bureaucracy I guess you don't care either way ("My team's on it!") but companies that don't go out of business generally recognize pretty soon lack of outcomes where it matters.
