The issue with all these experts is they still think it's human nature to be able to fully understand the world before they speak about it. On the contrary it's human nature (and all animal nature) to figure out how to navigate the world without fully understanding or having a complete model of it. All you need is a working model that affects the facets of the world you need to deal with.
I still remember in the 90s my school friend came over to my house and I was sending a fax for my dad. He was surprised the paper came back out the other side. He wasn't an idiot, and he was 15. But his model of the world didn't include deep thought about how fax works, he just merely concoted a system where the paper just went through the wire. That moment stays with me and reminds me what it is to be human and think like one. I think chatgpt is like my friend, and that should scare and excite us.
