They’re empiricists — the only ~~real~~ conclusive way to answer that question is to try it, IMO!
The old ML maxim was “don’t expect models to do anything a human expert couldn’t do with access to the same data”, but that’s clearly going to way of Moore’s Law… I don’t think a meteorologist could predict 11km^2 of weather 10 days out very accurately, and I know for sure that a neuroscientists couldn’t recreate someone’s visual field based on fMRI data!
