AI developers would benefit greatly from understanding domain experts' superior knowledge about what AI can and cannot do in their field (law, medicine, etc.) compared to AI developers' own understanding, and from not making overhyped claims; at the same time, the public deserves clear communication from companies about why they are confident enough to make trillion-dollar bets and what emerging capabilities justify those bets.

Evidence Quote

we've talked a lot about how in many ways people in general, workers in different domains have a much better understanding of AI's potential and limits and their particular application like law or medicine or whatever than AI developers do... AI developers would benefit a lot from uh understanding that and not making these overhyped claims.
