I will talk about mental illness, because that is my experience (I am disabled with Schizoaffective Bipolar Type, Panic Disorder, and OCD).
No, it will not cure mental illness. Mental Illness is in my genes[1] and I can see it because I have my genetics. My disorder is triggered (important!) by my environment. Stress, high altitude, heat and humidity, high EMFs (yes, I said it) can all trigger episodes.
I am homeless (stress!), so if AI does not fix that, maybe they can invent a different kind of opioid? But that is juts a treatment, not a cure.
Will AI ever recommend diet changes or other environmental changes that have helped me? I need to live in a cold, low altitude environment where I eat a lot or reindeer, salmon, and seal and very few plant foods (Similar to an Inuit diet). These things helped me more than any other drug in my 60 year life.
[1] These genes come from both my Sami heritage and the ancient mitochondrial haplogroup (K1c2a around 7050 BCE). Some of the most impacting genes of my polygenic environmental disorder:
