I think the thing that bothers people like the author and Chomsky is that deep nets can't explain or justify how they make decisions in a way that a human could fit in their brain. There is no book called "How To Play Go as well as I Do" by AlphaGo. This is something we're going to have to live with : The machines are smarter than we are, so we won't be able to understand them except at the most basic levels where we use inductive proof to extrapolate our understanding of very small models to enormously large ones that are beyond our ability to fit into our brains.

We can understand how individual chemical reactions in Einstein's brain work, but that doesn't make us smarter than him.
