Yep the only reason modern medicine went the antibiotic route instead of the bacteriophage route was the logistical and clinical challenges in stocking 100 treatments for an infection instead of 1 (or thousands instead of dozens) but now that we can print them on demand, you just have to show the AI an infectious agent or tumor cell and it can just crank out a custom virus that kills it specifically. Won't help with infectious prions or viruses but opens the door to new treatments for those too

I'm excited to see what they can do

"Receives" clues you into that it was part of medical treatment, but I can see you how would read it as clickbait, but I honesly don't think it was intended to be so.

True, but it is news that should give us all pause. Imagine what they could do with AI+CRISPR gene editing, which is also a virus. Probably not something good.

If it’s making fucking phages I’m all for it.
