Although I have not verified this claim, it does give an idea as to the impossibility of a pure brute force method:
Looking just 15 black and white stones ahead involves more possible outcomes than there are atoms in the universe.
In reality we don't know the actual size of the universe, but what is important is the size of the largest storage systems on earth in the foreseeable future.

One day this will happen; but not anytime soon.
First an AI singularity (more conventionally called a "technological singularity" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity ) needs to and will happen. With my AI expertise, I plan to be the one that makes it happen in about ~10 years time, well after I publish my book and assuming I can get sufficient funding from somewhere which is by far the biggest hole in my current plan. I have already made an extremely elaborate ~10 year plan (but still with that big hole ) that includes very extensive but still far-from-complete details of the formulated 'logic', that includes what I call 'tie logic' which is what my current book is going to be about and which I am currently researching, that is to be programmed into my first AI.

You do know that AI's can already compose music that people cannot differentiate from
human composed music?
