"playing go" is actually a very constrained problem domain.

"design and implement a SasS product that humans will give you money for" is a much less well-defined problem.

applying AI to boilerplate will probably be effective, but that might just eliminate more outsourcing and allow local devs to be more productive, as an extension of IDEs that have various macros to reduce boilerplate.

i think getting past that to the point where some manager can just ask an AI to design a commercially viable SaaS website top to bottom and it plonks out of the machine is exponentially more _difficult_ of a problem domain.

although a lot of the websites which pollute search results in google will be churned out by the millions and millions.

Go is actually pretty simple game, alternate between placing stones, if stones connected have no open spaces remove them and lose points. The decision space is huge, but that is pretty much it.

Now SaaS is one thing, but who would trust industrial control software for AI. At least current one. Here is oil refinery, make money. Oh, take these bank details as well and go figure it out...
