I very rarely care for what most 62 year olds have to say about the capabilities about the theoretical limits of computation.

This isn't much different.

If the 62 year old had studied computer science and had specialized in AI, I would listen closely to them.

But I definitely not care about a politician that has no idea about technology.

Fully agreed, hence the "most" :^)

Unfortunately when it comes to medical experts, many ignore them and listen to their aunt with the healing crystals, or their buddy that skipped most of his high school science classes to go smoke behind the school instead...
