This line of reasoning implies "the stochastical parrot people are right, there is no intelligence in AI". Which is the opposite of what AI thought leaders are saying.

I reject the Stochastic Parrot theory. The claim is more about comparative advantage; AI systems already exist that are superhuman on breadth of knowledge at undergrad understanding depth. So new science should be discoverable in fields where human knowledge breadth is the limiting factor.

I think this may be the first time I've seen "thought leaders" used unironically. Is there any reason to believe they're right?
