The human expertise is in the data.

There are no art lessons in the training data, just labeled images. How to actually draw the AI has to figure out by itself. Even the labels on the data aren't strictly needed, they are just there so the humans can interact with the AI by text.

Same with AlphaZero, it didn't learn playing Go from humans, it learned that by playing against itself and not only beat humans, but previous versions that were still based on recording human Go games.

That's the bitter lesson of AI research: Throwing data and computation at the problem gives you much better results than human experts.

And we have barely even begun to explore this. What ChatGPT does is still just reciting information from books and websites, it can't interact with the real world to learn by itself. It being based on books written by human experts is not a benefit, but what's holding it back.
