That's a big fat if. We think we understand plant biology but no one has ever created one gram of artificial wood. This isn't attacking you personally but it's pretty clear many on this site have never spent ten years of their life on a drug to watch it fail in phase three trials.

There's likely lots still to discover about biology and A.I. doesn't generate new data, rather rearranging old data. That's still helpful but developing new tools to make basic science discoveries to expand the knowledge pool seems to be the rate limiting factor rather than rearranging existing knowledge.
