Gen(etic) AI is one of Dahlwoum's superintelligent generative AIs, trained to create and modify genetic material. Like its cousins, LLMs and diffusion models, the primary method of controlling Gen(etic) AI is by telling it what you want.
The first version, used to engineer Biodolls, went online 3 years from now. It cost billions to train and could barely mix human and annelid DNA into a workable chimera.
The second version, created one year later, accidentally engineered a race of virtually indestructible superheroes without anyone knowing about it. This wasn't done maliciously, rather because it was asked to after a minor upgrade. The researchers had no idea materials constructed by the machinery of life could exceed man-made materials of seemingly all kinds, and neither did the AI.
