I'm unaware of any substantial research on Alzheimer's or diabetes that has been done using LLMs. As generative models they're basically just souped up Markov chains. I think the best you could hope for is something like a meta study that is probably a bit worse than the usual kind.

I agree, things that occure the most in the training data set will have the highest weights/probabilities in the Markov chain. So it is useless in finding the one, tiny relation that humans would not see.
