Could AI create a vulnerability for hashing algorithms?

Hear me out. If we accept that math is a representation of the physical world, then all equations are a representation of physical shape.

AI starts with randomness, and builds an equation to fill a void. The equation forms a shape in the neural network that molds to an external shape, outside the network.

So, it's only logical that an AI could learn the shape of a hashing algorithm, and output values which could trigger a given solution.

At least, that's my thinking. Especially if one kept feeding it random data.
