I think it's sad that the myth that you have to be some sort of genius to be in this industry persists. It's just not true. Most jobs consist of simple work, no matter how complex the people doing it tell themselves it is. Experience is far more important than raw intelligence for more advanced work.
That's what bothers me about AI. When people say AI is a long way from [human quality or skill], it's missing the point. In most work, and even in our field, the work that most people do doesn't require human level intelligence.
