I mean, that presumes that the answer to generating your anti-cancer pill, or the universal cure to heart disease has already been found, but humans can't see it because the data is disparate.

The likelihood of all that is incredibly slim. It's not 0% -- nothing ever really is -- but it is effectively so.

Especially with the economics of scientific research, the reproducibility crisis, and general anti-science meme spreading throughout the populace. The data, the information, isn't there. Even if it was, it'd be like Alzheimer's research: down the wrong road because of faked science.

There is no one coming to save humanity. There is only our hard work.
