The problem is that we can "get good" at things but we have hard limits that are pathetic in comparison to the complexity of the universe. We are slightly advanced monkeys. We poke around at things and claim to understand them but time and again there are unintended consequences. This is hilarious to watch in the context of AI. Monkey invents machine based on high school mathematics. Monkey scales up the machine and pokes around at it but can't predict what it will do or even explain how it did it in retrospect.
