To answer your question in other words: if you spent the same amount of resources on human intelligence

If AI tools don't amplify and magnify your own intelligence, it's not their fault.

If the advances turn out to be illusory, on the other hand, they'll be unwound soon enough. We generally don't stick with expensive technology that doesn't work. At the same time, fortunately, we also don't generally wait for your approval before trying new things.
