similarly, i've heard a few times that "we might cure cancer", and sure enough some brute force computation can fold proteins fast

but in practice it is more likely these tools will be used to fabricate experimental results, push dietary supplements and other snakeoil cures

and more coarsely, ai isn't pouring funding into the CDC, ai isn't reversing the destruction of the FDA, and is more than likely going to be used to justify those things
