Do the opposite, encourage them.. Because it is on one level a good idea.

Show them things like AutoML. Mention that Machine Learning isn't 100% accurate, and it will be a while yet until it is.

Explain how blockchain is an older technology and how things like proof of resource is a better way without needing expensive ASICs to keep the network secure.

Talk about hashing algorithms, ecc, which ones are the best etc. Get a promotion, make sure its done right.
