You can give a human PhD an _unsolved problem_ in field adjacent to their expertise and expect some reasonable resolution. LLM PhD:s solve only known problems.
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.
