Experts being wrong about a prediction in their domain is newsworthy, of course people are gonna point that out. They know their domain but they don't know/understand the extent of the power of AI.

Everytime ai systems entered a domain, experts of that domain have been proven wrong. Biology will be similar. Here is the point, to be able drive huge improvements in a field, you do not need to know everything about that domain. Yes, biology is messy, but we already had incredible breakthroughs in this domain without understanding it 100%. Did we have the full picture when we created antibiotics, vaccines etc.? Maybe solving the big diseases do not require the amount of detail/experience people assume. Maybe we have/will have enough data to extrapolate and create solutions from imperfect knowledge.
