AIs dont create new knowledge yet. But may ferret out known things more efficiently.

  Create, not yet... although there are a few automated biology lab solutions in the wild... but it might help refute a number of dubious findings if it's able to spot methodology problems.

  Key difference between your comment, and the parent, is the distinction between now and later (time) along with "knowledge" vs "resources." If ai-driven technology produces new abstractions, or put differently, massively reduces the cost and access to resources that are currently scarce and valuable, then you have a whole layer of newly introduced resource(s) to Build businesses off of. This might not be new knowledge the way I took it in your comment. I also think it's reasonable to assume that as quality engineering time keeps getting poured into these areas, these new abstractions will happen. I also believe this is a great way to look at the world, which is why I felt compelled to clarify.
