I whole-heartedly agree. This is one of the reasons I think that education about AI and ML is important (and, on the flip side, I also think that it wouldn't hurt to educate AI and ML researchers/engineers about humanist issues so that they can participate in non-technical debate).

The knowledge is different in nature from scientific knowledge but for no reason should it be considered inferior. By thinking this way you just exclude yourself from any discourse and just hinder your condition.
