I remember around 2010 people adviced the same principle but with different words. At this time Go was still a game that couldn't be beaten by AI alone, so it was taken as example. And people found that if you let a person play, he can only achieve that much, mostly disappointing compared to perfection (with some exceptions), if you write an AI it won't be able to solve all the problems themselves. But if you combine them, using a human player that gets calculation backup by AI, that draws diagrams ( heat maps in case of Go), that gathers data, this is what enables the human to perform on professional level (about 3dan pro if I remember correctly) despite being a total beginner (15 kyu on Kiseido Go Server).

I completely agree with that and believe that the profesional and scientific world is actually also developing in that direction.
