each problem is different. computational chemistry has stagnated therefore AI isnt a concern? its nonsense. first of all, it may be that computational chemistry is much more tractable than we realize because we are too stupid to find the necessary footholds. but regardless, some tasks are actually mathematically intractable. there is no way to draw a connection between AI and any other problem, certainly not a connection definitive enough to write off the risk of AI...

that is the key. its all speculation. as long as there is some possibility of creating AI, we have to account for it in our collective decision-making. like many people before them, most people seem happy to write off the possibility of anything that hasnt happened already. fools.
