    While anything to do with computers is “math” that doesn’t mean that someone who is an expert in math has any special knowledge about everything related to computers.

    It’s true that you don’t need to be an expert to recognize the potential issues.

    My point is, this guy’s opinion is not supported by any special credentials.

        If he said that he thought AI was great and could solve poverty, would you believe that?

        Probably not.

        If not, then you don’t value his opinion due to his expertise, you just acknowledge that his opinion aligns with yours.
