Shkreli vs ChrisGPT: does AGI 'curing' diseases actually count as a cure?
ChrisGPT · x · 2026-10-28
A debate sparked by Martin Shkreli claiming Anthropic isn't "curing" any diseases, noting pharma has failed to truly cure diseases for 100+ years. ChrisGPT counters that if AGI enables treatments so effective patients become asymptomatic with unimpeded quality of life, that's functionally a cure — and ASI will out-think any biologist alive. A definitional fight over "cure" and AGI's biomedical promises.
