Why couldn't we create an A.I. to determine what chemical reactions cause the side effects? Then we could simply input whatever concoction is developed only to know what the side effects and their chances are will be? Could even narrow down likely hood to be affected, even on how it interacts with other diseases etc.

A.I. is the way.

Lol no.

Ai can replicate patterns you've fed to it.

It's a pattern duplicator, nothing more

Uh, the A.I. that essentially solved protein folding would like a word.

And that word would be “data”.

Uh, so you're telling me the A.I. is capable of creating new solutions from pre-existing data? And that is different from my implication in what way exactly?

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. If an AI could only handle situations identical to the data it trained on then it would be pretty useless when deployed into the real world where data would almost certainly not match up perfectly. So it obviously needs to be capable of (and is capable of) extrapolation beyond what it is trained on. So it is obviously more than what you call a "pattern duplicator." AI does pick out patterns in huge amounts of data that can meaningfully represent a solution to a problem though.
