They could know quite a lot, ML is still a rather shallow field compared to the more established sciences, it's arguably not even a proper science yet, perhaps closer to alchemy than chemistry. Max Tegmark is a cosmologist and he has learned it well enough for his opinion to count, this guy on the other hand is famous for his bad takes and has apparently gotten a lot wrong about QC even though he wrote a whole book about it.
