I think the issue with "it should only be applied to x domain" is that these tools ultimately have multiple applications.
For example, Alpha Proteo, which again can't be understated in how its changed research into drugs and other protein research, uses generative models to generate candidates which then are checked against physical ground truths. These sub-modules aren't very different in architecture from diffusion models that produce video. So obviously one could imagine a reality where the protein use-case came first and then it became apparent that these models could also be applied to video generation.
Similar can be said of Alpha Geometry and language models.
It is true, you're not going to solve social problems solely with technological solutions. Likewise, you're not going to prevent social ailments solely by blocking technology.
Sooner or later you actually have to strike the root of the problem and solve the social problems directly. Everything else is beating around the bush and tinkering with the margins.
