There is a difference between knowledge being available somewhere in theory, and being able to instantly generate a foolproof walkthrough, if not automate the process, which would be possible today for cyberattacks.

Is it not also one of the most important use cases for AI to apply existing knowledge to new applications?

As a hopefully exaggerated example, I would think one could apply knowledge about pesticides, chemistry, and medicine to create biological weapons.
