Early Data Indicates an A.I.-Generated Drug Could Slow Aging

Artificial intelligence was used to help develop a drug candidate, rentosertib, for a rare lung condition. Its maker says the drug also seems to reduce the biological hallmarks of age.

Yea, exciting as usual.  So the prediction is that we'll have this to take "in 5 years"?

But where are the advertisements for something that will work for me, now?

When will I start getting younger instead of older?

They've been promising me a cure for my type 1 diabetes "in 5 years" for 40 years now, and it still seems to be: "in 5 years".

At least all my friends who were overweight are now losing weight, which is exciting, but when will this start where everyone gets younger?

I am not against using AI to invent and generate intellectual property,
but I wonder how the laws against it will affect things like drug
development. I mean big pharma typically won't make a drug to combat a
disease unless they can patent it. Are they going to make an exception
in the new AI laws for large corporations?
