> It could cure every disease humanity has ever known

No amount of intelligence can do this without the experimental data to back it up.

Hell, if it simply fixed the incentives around science so we stopped getting so many false positives into journals, that would be revolutionary.
Practically this is true, but I do love the idea of solving diseases from first principles.

Making new mathematics that creates new physics/chemistry which can get us new biology. It’d be nice to make progress without the messiness of real world experiments.
