Drug discovery is extremely regulated process and for the right reasons. It would be the last frontiers to conquer with AI.
After medicine, construction, flight, government, education and food production
Because human trials are so expensive that will be all the more reason to pre-screen with AI, like we already do with traditional simulations and things like proteome-wide off-target profiling.
There's no regulation on not doing a trial because your oracle machine told you it was an expensive dead end.

I actually don’t think this is a strong argument.
AI does very well following rules.
Proving your drug works is hard, but an LLM can help you come up with the ideas.
