Redditors question AI leaders' claims of curing all major diseases within 5-10 years

A Reddit discussion challenges AI leaders' repeated claims that AI will cure most major diseases within five to ten years. The author argues anyone with a medicine, biology, chemistry or pharmacology background can see the claim is wildly overblown.
The core concern: such hype erodes trust in these leaders' other claims, and the author wonders why more domain experts don't publicly call it out.
