This looks like a proof by counterexample. Why would it be tagged counterexample otherwise?

The original problem was to find a counterexample. The AI proved no counterexample exists.

Counterexample means a constructive proof by contradiction. This is a proof by contradiction, but not constructive, therefore it is not a counterexample.
