If you assume the unlimited power needed right now to power Aloha fold at scale of all human education.

We have at best proof of concepts that computers can talk. But LLMs don't have any way of actually knowing anything behind them. That's kinda the problem.

And it's not a "we'll figure out the one trick" but more fundamentally how it works doesn't allow for that to happen.
