Pharmacological CEO objects to the idea of chronic illnesses being cured soon. You can’t blame him - the guy has to protect his stock price and that depends on future value of earnings. The best thing AI can reliably do is help people gather more real objective data so they can see better into their own conditions and then that data can be contributed to advance medicine and find new co-morbidities or lateral treatment options. The disdain against the possibility is signaling though. Maybe it happens maybe it doesn’t, but you are hating on a possibility.

Isn’t AI trained on lots of subjective data?

The average of subjectivity isn’t the same as objectivity

No, he is hating on claims of an obvious im-possibility. Even if Claude gave us the exact recipe and dosage for a cancer curing drug today, it still wouldn't be available in the next 10 years, as Dario Amodei claims.
