Eh I think people's expectations for things they don't understand are always overblown.
One thing I always find funny is the general expectation that machine learning models are both incredibly generalised and designed based on the way biological systems work, but should also be 100% perfect and never be wrong just like a machine and NOT like a biological system, those things are mutually exclusive; even the best, smartest most physically capable humans will still sometimes spill their coffee, yet we expect coffee-bot 2024 not to do this.
Certainly machines can be much better at a task than humans are, but if that tasks requires generalisation then it's still gonna fuck up from time to time.
Machine learning programs may think a dog is actually a cat sometimes, but afaik they ain't ever called their teacher "Mum" yet.
