Consider that humans also learn from other humans, and sometimes surpass their teachers. A bit more comfortable?

  Ahh, but the new young master is able to explain their work and processes to the satisfaction of the old masters. In the 'Science' of our modern times it's a requirement to show your work (yes, yes, I know about the replication crisis and all that terrible jazz). Not being able to ascertain how and why the ML/AI is achieving results is not quite the same and more akin to the alchemists and sorcerers with their cyphers and hidden laboratories.

    > the new young master is able to explain their work and processes to the satisfaction of the old masters Yes, but it's one level deep - in general they wouldn't be able to explain their work to their master's master (note "science advances one funeral at a time").

    I’ll add that specially when it comes to playing go, professionals who are at the peak of their ability can often find the best move at a given point but be unable to explain why beyond “it feels right” or “it looks right”.
