Barely better than brute force (I can't believe it's not brute force!™) aside, presuming we get super intelligence it will all be depressing when it comes to intellectual pursuits like this.

Even the smartest humans would end up as perpetual students but I'm not sure why that should be universally depressing.

		Yeah I don't understand how people can not look forward to that outcome. Imagine you have your own super von Neumann who's willing to talk to you 1:1 for as long as you'd like at any time with not a hint of judgement at your intellectual inferiority. He's been working tirelessly to figure out how everything pieces together, and has 20 layers of abstraction to draw from to lead you toward understanding what's really going on along with a concrete understanding of every field to reify his thoughts into examples familiar to you and illustrate his connections. A nerd's dream. Maybe he'll even be able to answer about turbulence.
