The predictions of these "experts" have been drastically wrong for the last 3 years. At what point does someone lose their "expert" title?

They have been wrong in a way that's bad: underestimating the speed and size of progress. So if the "experts" claim a timeline and magnitude, it would be safest to assume an even faster timeline and a bigger impact.

In fairness, they've been operating with a lot of built up cynicism from major breakthroughs that have been 3-5 years away for the past five decades.
Humanity doesn't fully leverage the intelligence it already has, so I think people are overestimating the disruption ahead.

For sure. Intelligence is an internal human problem, not one external. I cannot see how apps doing the thinking will help the ordinary person so substantially as imaginations anticipate.
