Funny enough, it is a good argument with just a sprinkle of reality for context: Assume effective alternatives to this cocktail exist. Assume you had access to these effective alternatives. Can this be combined with other drugs? Surgery? You say you just need to cure it. You must consider the deeper mechanisms at play to consider all the possible options for living.
I will take the safest route to a guaranteed cure.
In the absence of a guaranteed cure, I will probably take the option or combination of options most likely to cure me that I can afford.
Whether the AI understands and endorses it vs a human understands and endorses it, is pretty much totally irrelevant to me.
The AI will have a track record at this point for me to make a viable comparison.
Also, why not both options, assuming I can afford it and they're compatible.
I believe AI will invent new treatments in cases where there aren't options, those people will be cured, and using AI medical techniques will become obvious.
