In the Economist article Tao links, Hugo Duminil-Copin, draws a comparison: airdropping someone on the summit of Mount Everest is very different from climbing it.
The fundamental issue with AI solving any perceived difficult problem is that we have lost the journey. The sight atop Mount Everest looks much different when you have climbed compared to being dropped from above.
There are those who are only interested in seeing what's on top of mountain, without having to climb it. Let them go see as they wish. Those who want to climb should still do their thing, without taking issue with the option of being dropped from above and those exercising it. The unnecessary gatekeeping needs to stop.
Sure, but actually what's the issue? You can still climb. If one do it for the sake of the journey, not some side quest to fame, glory, and social prestige, the mountain is still there.
Maybe the one that lament that the sacred mountain should be left alone and be kept pristine of human arrogance and pissing territory can complain
