When CRISPR-Cas9 edited humans populate the Earth... - [short AI essays]
The world has a lot more than enough of our DNA to fill it with.
I gave GPT-Neo, an AI transformer model, the title, and it came up with the subtitle and the narrative that follows.
It’s estimated that we are about 3 billion years from extinction and there is plenty left over for all kinds of new creatures—from bacteria to fish, birds…and even human beings (who would you want to have as a dinner?).
We could use these extra genes in many useful capacities but one particular application might be quite interesting: genetic modification or ‘editing people so their offspring inherit only the desired characteristics without having them genetically altered themselves by random mutation processes during conception.
This way, they would be not burdened down with undesirable mutations which can cause diseases like cancer later when those children become adults who may pass on harmful mutations through reproduction if no intervention occurs early at fertilizing time.
It's an idea worth considering since some researchers think this kind of approach will eventually replace conventional breeding methods altogether, although I don’t know how feasible such technology really seems right now because editing embryos before birth requires very precise techniques using sophisticated tools, while making modifications after pregnancy takes longer due to increased risks associated with gene transfer into eggs versus injecting sperm where possible instead.
However, both approaches seem promising given current technologies currently exist!
The first step towards developing any sort of edits made outside egg/embryos involves creating double-strand break breaks inside cells followed immediately afterward by insertion(or excision), deletion, etc…
I don’t mind if you tell your friends! And for more…
