The TLDR seems perhaps tongue-in-cheek, but it's a worthy thought: the situation where our best experts find new science to be inscrutable is close at hand, if not here now.

Humans have been guilty of burying things we don't understand for millenia. Will we continue to do so "because AI"?

Inscrutable through lack of effort communicating (OpenAI) is different from inscrutable because it’s high level hard to understand (Grothendieck).
