For me it implies that we need a better way to quote credentials. We have plenty of skeptical experts, who were researching machine learning for decades.

AI experts is the same crowd as blockchain "experts". I used to work in the industry. Between me and my employer, I knew how the whole thing worked, but it was him who was quoted as an "expert". And I can't even call myself an expert, because for sure experts at the time were writing protocols and not implementing parts of them.

If there is a rift on whether or not AI benefits people right now, and the rift is between users and experts, the problem is the experts that were asked. People don't need much convincing to find something helpful, we love to cut corners.
