Huh? Where do I say that AI needs to solve every intellectual problem?

For all we know, P vs NP will never be resolved neither by human nor AI, and the world will just keep turning.

I don't understand what you're proposing then. We can ask AI to solve practical problems of interest (making a computer faster for instance), but I'd say no one really believes that this is an unlimited resource. At some point we'll reach a plateau, and then AI will be an important tool but to continue advancing we'll need someone to ask the right questions.

What is 'asking the right questions' supposed to mean?

I am saying that applications supplied and supply an inexhaustible amount of good problems and questions to consider. Purely theoretical concerns also supply some questions, but even if that well dries up for some reason, applications persist.
