This is similar to some of the software being produced these days, where it's impossible to understand or develop the codebase further without AI. The complexity is beyond what even an above average individual human brain can comprehend.
Without making a value judgement of whether that's good or bad for the field in the long term, it is an interesting point to note the similarity with the human-incomprehensible communication among AI agents. When there are no humans in the loop, it's no longer necessary to translate or "lower" the representation for our benefit. Since it's still early days, we can only imagine and extrapolate how far it might go in that direction, what might evolve out of it in the future.
