Eric Fish, DVM (@allscience): "“AI is far from curing cancer and most other diseases. If you just ask them to solve biology or chemistry questions, they’re not particularly good at it… They’re trained on the human language, not on the language of chemistry, physics, and biology.”"

“AI is far from curing cancer and most other diseases. If you just ask them to solve biology or chemistry questions, they’re not particularly good at it… They’re trained on the human language, not on the language of chemistry, physics, and biology.”

The reality is that biology is really really hard. Our bodies are made of trillions of interacting molecules, and each body is different. Many drugs that work for some people (probably) fail clinical trials because they work on some subset of people but we don’t understand biology well enough to know which is which.
