Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03356
A new if not unique KRRBN vs knp chess problem generated autonomously by the program, Chesthetica, using the 'DSNS' computational creativity approach which does not use any kind of machine or deep learning. You can learn more about the DSNS here. The largest (Lomonosov) tablebase today is for 7 pieces which contains over 500 trillion positions. With each additional piece, the number of possible positions increases exponentially. It is therefore impossible that this problem with 8 pieces could have been taken from such a database.
