It's not really that magical. As TFA points out, RFIC design, way beyond normal RF engineering, is close to black magic that relies a lot on the knowledge and experience of the designer, assisted by what would have been supercomputer-level-a-few-decades-ago modelling and design tools. What AI can do is a breadth-first exploration of all possible outcomes and then pick the best-performing one rather than the human-level "this seems like a good path to go down, let's explore it further".
