Maybe the smartest people in the room are the ones we least expect.

I mean, they are a bunch of rocket scientists. That's the group everyone has expected to be the smartest people in the room for about a century. ๐Ÿ˜

I thought that was AI people.

Turns out ... thats not working out so well.

In everything other than the /lets literally build SkyNet/ department.

But the idiom isn't "it's not AI" it's "it's not rocket science." ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜

Well the only relevant idiom I can think of here is:

Or, this isnt really an idiom but maybe uh:

Fascists? In my NASA? I did Nazi that one coming.

Sorry, my joke generating subroutine has not been updated since the time that the rocket scientist idiom you mention was popularized.
