One thing AI has taught me is that it's not really about the specific move (unless it's life and death), but about direction. Almost always playing roughly in the correct direction results in +/- 2 point changes at best, whereas wrong direction, even if it's locally good can easily cost you 5-10 points. It really helped me stop fussing over the "correct sequence"/joseki/fuseki and focus on mistakes that were actually costing me the games.
For training my intuition I find replaying/memorizing pro games is still far more effective, since the moves follow human reasoning and shapes. AI seems to work best as a review tool for finding/exploring mistakes.
That is a really good insight. For me, similarly, it has taught me to play more directly (and ignore "correct sequence")
