I fear the day AI will give superhuman consistent correct answers and nobody will be able to determine why it is right or how the correct answer was found.

Maybe someday we'll get an answer from a machine which superhumanly mostly correct and we'll be unable to tell if it is right or wrong. If it is a question whose answer will influence important decisions, considering the machine answer will be close to a form of religion.

Like religion, I suspect you will have many different machine answers to choose from.
I suspect we will have 2 of them. We will start out with lots of them, but then a couple of them will start making the most money, and resort to underhanded tactics, bribery, and lobbying, and put the others out of business.
Sounds about right. We'll replace our lizard overlords with robot overlords.
