DNA encodes proteins, basically. So by manipulating the DNA code you could construct the proteins you want. Let’s push the idea further and postulate that you can construct a biological creature to your specifications. But then what? That creature will be limited by biological constraints. Wetware doesn’t get very fast or very strong.
I’m no expert (paging gwern?) but could an AI have it’s code put inside a DNA? Idea from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_digital_data_storage
You mean like humans do?
