Edit: no VSWR constraint. Can add that later :)
Edit 2: oh or design a board for a simple 100Mohm input instrumentation amplifier which knows what a guard ring is and how badly the solder mask will screw it up :)

How exact is exactly the same time? Current solver matches to under 10fs, and I think at that level you'd have to fab it to see how close you get with fiber weave skew and all that.
Do you have a test case for a schematic design task?
The point is there’s a methodology to solve these problems already. Is this better? And can it use and apply it?
On top of that, making an AI that can regurgitate simple textbook circuits and connect them together in reasonable ways is only the first step towards a much more difficult goal. More subtle problems in electronics design are all about context-dependent interactions between systems.
I have experience building boards in Altium and found it rather enjoyable; my own knowledge was often a constraint as I started out, but once I got proficient it just seemed to flow out onto the canvas.
There are some design considerations that would be awesome to farm out to genai, but I think we are far from that. Like stable-diffusion is to images, the source data for text-to-PCB would need to be well-labeled in addition to being correllated with the physical PCB features themselves.
The part where I think we lose a lot of data in pursuit of something like this, is all of the research and integration work that went on behind everything that eventually got put into the schematic and then laid out on a board. I think it would be really difficult to "diffuse" a finished PCB from an RFQ-level description.
